Awesome Sandalwood from AdP
After disappointing experiences with some other AdP colognes, I didn't really know what to expect with Saldano. But after the first spray - oh my - what a delight AdP has created here. Of course, there is the high quality citrus opening expected of AdP. As the dry down progressed, there was a great touch of lavender and finally the most awesome, smooth sandalwood with just the right subtle touch of sweetness.

True parfum performance. About arms length projection for almost 4 hours followed by a strong but closer scent bubble for another 3 hours. A quite noticeable skin scent remains 12 hours after application.

Barbershop-like without being overwhelmingly so. Very masculine, classy, civilized and sophisticated. Not too heavy, so it would work in summer. Good anytime of day or night, anytime of the year.

Available in a 6 ounce industrial size bottle for a reasonable price given the high quality. I'm picking up a big bottle of this baby for sure.

Again and again...
... this fragrance is applied in the morning. After showering in the morning and when you are all dressed up, this fragrance is applied. Whether on the shirt of the suit or a polo shirt. So you can go out of the house. The fragrance is still.

First you are greeted by citrus fruits with a slightly overripe note that is somewhat sweet on the nose. The overripe note disappears after a while and is framed by cardamom and lavender. Sandalwood, amber and tonka bean round off the fragrance.

The longevity and silage are reasonable.

This fragrance can be worn at all times and by young and old alike.

Who likes such a conservative perfume is right here.

Egg-shaped knitted but very noble
For 2 days now I've been testing the perfume of AdP Sandalo.
The citrusy prelude of lemon and orange is very refreshing. The heart notes of lavender and cardamom are added very quickly, making the fragrance very interesting. A fresh one with a slightly deeper astringency. Simple, but in combination it makes the fragrance very noble
This fragrance really takes you to the south of Italy, in the evening at the seaside in the osteria a good wine and something light and delicious Mediterranean to eat.
The shelf life is with me with ca.6-7 hours very decent. The Sillage is given but rather discreet. I think that is what the scent wants to be. Restrained, noble, sexy and mysterious. The Drydown is well set in scene with sandalwood and tonka bean. Everything fits together very harmoniously.
On the whole a successful and noble fragrance that knows to inspire without being obtrusive. The DNA of Acqua di Parma is noticeable as with almost all AdP fragrances.
Solid, simple, interesting. You can wear it spring, summer, autumn. In winter it would be too light for me. It wouldn't fit Last but not least, it's a proud fragrance.
His price, however, with 200 Euro is also proud.
Is he worth it? To some yes, to others no I do, because I love the lightness and sexyness of Sandalo.

Heavy sandalwood throughout - leaning into pickled territory, even - given lift via a barbershop fougere base. The drydown is fantastic!

Woody fragrance that's surprisingly clean and wearable. Feels a bit old school yet it is quite unique and stands out despite not being loud.
