What does Santal Umeshu smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring, autumn and summer, and it is chosen mostly for leisure, daily wear and evenings. Votes for masculine and feminine character sit close together, so it wears comfortably on either.

Mandarin orange and ginger give it a lively, lightly spiced freshness. Violet leaf adds a green touch, while umeshu brings a fruity sweetness. New Caledonian sandalwood and vanilla settle it onto a woody, creamy base.
