Russian Adam starts with a Dutch distributor for Europe and the first advantage was shipping at normal costs. Before, the EU shipping did cost around $45.00, which was an abnormal amount for a scent with a price of $150 - $250. The shipment now $9.00?
Santal galore opens like a soap, built on roses and sandalwood balanced by moss. In the backyard, there is indeed a note that will be the 'stinky' durian. In Santal galore it doesn't, and I think it has a bit of a musky smell. The other musk, the deer, is in this creation a support instead of the main role player like we see in earlier collections. After 4 hours, it sets in a real creamy "again" sandal base with tonka.

The total of the lovely wooden box, the old style 50 ml bottle, and the high percentage natural ingredients are worth the retail price of $350.00.
The prices asked on eBay are ridiculous and are out of proportion.
Great comment. The scent is worth its regular price, and I'm pretty sure the rating will go up. I had higher hopes for the sillage too, but as we all know, naturals often aren't projection monsters ;-)
The prices on eBay are out of this world and totally crazy...
