What does Blackened Santal (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter close behind, and it suits leisure time and evenings, though it also works for a night out. It reads as neither masculine nor feminine, and fits either.

Sandalwood and cedarwood build a woody frame. Cardamom adds spice, frankincense gives a resinous depth, and vanilla brings a sweet, creamy softness. Iris and sea salt lend a fresh edge, while a synthetic sheen runs through the whole. The notes read as one blend rather than in stages. Zadig & Voltaire This Is Him! and Tom Ford Bois Pacifique have a close profile.
