What does Santal Blush smell like?

Floral, creamy ylang-ylang is warmed by cinnamon and exotic spices, while carrot seed adds a faint dry, earthy edge. A woody base of sandalwood and Texas cedar is softened by the resinous sweetness of Siam benzoin, leaving an impression that is powdery, oriental and creamy.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also wears in daytime and at work. Votes for feminine and masculine sit close together, so it reads as balanced between the two. Memo Paris Cappadocia and Diptyque Benjoin Bohème have a close profile.
