What does Santal Rouge smell like?
Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, so it stays on the skin for a while without filling the room. Being unisex, it can be worn by anyone. The number of votes is small, so this is a tendency rather than a firm verdict.
The top notes are violet and cardamom, giving a fresh, spicy start. In the heart, papyrus, sandalwood and iris bring a green, creamy, floral texture. The base is leather and amber, settling into a woody, leathery warmth. A synthetic edge also runs through the accords. Le Labo Santal 33 (Eau de Parfum) and Emir Rich Santal have a close profile.
