Santal Complet

Best Sandalwood

This is the best sandalwood I have ever smelled! It’s actually hard to find a perfume house that does sandalwood well and in this case VERY well. The usual sweet warm’n fuzzies are at play with the amber and vanilla, which are fine – but I do not want my fragrances to smell like food/dessert all the time (vanilla is so overdone at this point) but I must say the coconut is a nice twist! The powderyness of the violet keeps the coconut from being too foodie (tropical oasis vibes here) and I think the black pepper adds just a hint of spice with the lemon keeping things zesty and fresh (very subtle, but it is in there). Amazing scent, yes it has a hefty price tag but the high quality I expect from a luxury niche perfume house is absolutely present. Consider me a new fan girl Fragrance Du Bois!
