OrientalWhat does Blond Santal smell like?
It opens with cinnamon and plum, so spice and fruit arrive together. In the heart, rose, benzoin and styrax turn floral softness into a resinous sweetness. Oud and sandalwood form a woody base, and a synthetic edge runs through the accords.
It suits both men and women. Longevity and sillage are rated as moderate, though the small number of votes makes that impression tentative. Niche 4 All Oriental Amber and Al Haramain Cupid's Rose have a close profile.
