What does Oud Santal smell like?

It wears strong, with strong longevity and sillage, and most voters point to evening and night-out wear, with leisure and daily use getting fewer votes. It carries equally well on men and women.

It opens with clary sage, cumin and styrax, with sandalwood close behind. In the heart, Mysore sandalwood, Florentine iris absolute and jasmine sambac add a soft, powdery floral layer. The base of Burmese oud, vanilla absolute, grey musk, ebony and gurjum balsam dries down sweet, resinous and earthy. Francesca Bianchi The Dark Side and Dior Oud Ispahan have a close profile.
