Santal Oud
6.7Thomson Carter
Synthetic · Spicy · Woody
Thomson Carter Santal Oud is a unisex fragrance in which sandalwood, saffron and oud build a woody, spicy and smoky blend.
Sandalwood and oud form the body of the scent, while saffron adds a spicy warmth on top. The accords gather on the woody and oriental side, with a smoky, powdery feel and a faint synthetic edge in the background. The notes read as one whole rather than as separate layers.
Those who have rated it find both longevity and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough picture. Its dense, warm character suits cooler weather and evenings, and it sits comfortably on anyone without leaning masculine or feminine. Its profile is close to Maison Rebatchi Santal Nirvana and Ormonde Jayne Belle de Nuit.
