What does Santal du Pacifique (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable on the skin without filling a room. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer not far behind. It leans towards leisure and office wear. Some voters read it as masculine, others as feminine, which fits its unisex line.
It opens with carrot, then moves into orchid and violet at the heart, where gurjum balsam and creamy notes add a resinous, sweet tone. South Pacific sandalwood, dry woods and musk take over in the base. The overall impression runs from a fresh, green start to a powdery, woody dry-down.
