What does Santal Intense smell like?

It opens with pepper and blackcurrant. The heart brings tonka bean, jasmine, rose and Indian sandalwood, with the jasmine and rose adding a floral layer beside the sandalwood. The base holds spices, sandalwood milk, ambergris and vanilla, and the scent settles into a powdery, sweet warmth. Its accords also carry an oriental and animal side.

Voters place it mostly in daily, leisure and business wear, so it leans towards daytime. Evening and night-out votes are fewer.
