What does Santalum smell like?

In Santalum, spices, sandalwood absolute and myrrh read together. Sweetness and an oriental warmth dominate, while the woody side adds depth. A resinous, faintly smoky trace stays in the background, and the powdery texture softens everything.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the wearer. Most voters recommend fall and winter, spring gets a fair share, and summer trails. Leisure, business and daytime wear sit alongside evening. Masculine and feminine votes are nearly even. Odin New York 11 Semma and Pierre Guillaume Myrrhiad have a close profile.
