What does 33 Shades of Santal smell like?

Australian sandalwood and cedarwood form a woody backbone. Cardamom adds a spicy warmth, while leather and papyrus bring a dry, slightly rough note. Iris and violet lend a powdery softness, and musk settles it all onto a creamy base.

Longevity is rated good, and sillage is rated good too, though the small number of votes means this is only a rough guide. As a unisex scent it suits both men and women. Le Labo Santal 33 (Eau de Parfum) and Scentiments Sandalwood 33 have a close profile.
