The best Sandalwood
Oh my God what a perfume.
The best sandalwood you can find.
The quality is sublime.
The perfume opens spicy, creamy, woody, the spicy intensity fades as the perfume evolves. The final drydown is a creamy, somewhat spicy sandalwood.
How is it possible for a perfume with only one note to tell you so many things?
Simply sandalwood..... simply masterful.

I don't get it?
I mean it's nice? Considering the price/availability it smells pretty similar to all of the other high quality mysore basenote/dry downs I've sampled....

I honestly just don't find it remarkable; and it certainly didn't make me breakfast (with prices ranging from $30-50/ml it definitely should)... Yes, a little goes a long way (thankfully as I only have a ml) but it wears like I layered Coven and Santal de Mysore whilst browsing an antique store?

I'm no stranger to spending more than anyone should on fragrances; but I feel like I'm missing something here on this one.

THE Sandalwood
Ensar Oud Santal Sultan Pure Parfum. Review based on the Original release.

One of my favorite perfume compositions from the house and one that has satisfied my quest for the perfect Sandalwood-centered blend and rendered all the others I owned redundant. Hence, I decided to keep this one only.

Now, whenever the question: "What is the best Sandalwood perfume around?" comes up, people in the know will recommend that you stick to good old pure Sandalwood oil. And I agree. If you want to experience the most of what this precious ingredient has to offer, it seems there is no better alternative, especially in spray format. I almost gave up, and then I tried Santal Sultan. It is everything you'd get from the pure oil and more. It uses several other key ingredients that help push out some of the wood's facets, complement and emphasize others, and as opposed to the neat oil, it boasts immense performance in projection and longevity.

The scent profile is not overly complex, yet you will still get more out of it compared to the neat oil, as it blends several sandalwood profiles. On top of the full-spectrum flavor of the wood, you also experience zesty-citrus-like facets, spices, a plethora of aromatic qualities, and a slightly ambergris-laced dry-down with a faint yet enticing allure.
The opening is dominated by aromatic facets from the rosemary, some lavender, verbena, and lemongrass, all gently augmented by spicy touches. There is a citrus punch to go with it and a faint pineapple-like note that is incredibly satisfying and natural-smelling. This introduction hints at a Fougere with a heavy Oriental base structure, as the wood-laced heavy body is already perceivable underneath. From here on, the Fougere-like opening recedes gradually, allowing the full-spectrum sandalwood aroma to take center stage. It never unfolds identically. Sometimes, the sharper, cedarish facets come forth, others the creamy-milky ones, yet overall, it behaves as a rich and buttery sandal. The latter is probably my favorite textural facet of this material and dominates on my skin. As mentioned, it gets a touch musky in the late dry-down (after 12 hours or so), which only adds to the beauty of the experience.
It is a tenacious performer. I only use half a spray, giving me a solid scent bubble while it lasts (well over a day on my skin).

Since I got my bottle of Santal Sultan, I have neglected my Mysore Sandalwood oils. I love it that much. It wears as the neat oil while offering more. I can't think of a better composition focused on this precious wood ingredient, and although there are many around, most either smell off or don't offer enough. Much like with "Oud" perfumes. For anyone who loves Sandalwood, I can only recommend that you try the pure oil neat (make sure to invest in a high-quality one) and that you at least sample Santal Sultan. I did hear the current version is slightly different, but I'm sure it is just as good.

A masterpiece on wood
This parfume makes me think about me the strength and the power of the nature.

The sandalwood, Mysore and the Cedar wood (maybe) are the back bone of this parfume.

Even though I love niche parfume and Ensar Oud for how the perfumes transform as they dry down, I would say santal sultan doesn’t change that much.

Just a beautiful, true ode to santal wood surrounded by a slightly magic atmosphere thanks to some wildflowers and raw fruity notes.

One of my favorites EO at the moment.

Good projection, really long lasting (would say more then 10 hours and the day after you keep on smelling it clearly on clothes)

Soft citrus, gradually becoming more complex. Getting more robust, woody, with a hint of spices. Light green nuances. Quite good.

Sandalwood in perfection. The opening is a bit heavy in the first minutes. The dry down afterwards is a dream. Top quality!

Indeed! Sandalwood of the highest class. For me, however, it's not an ingredient that stands alone, even though here citrusy notes blend with smoky...

Spicy, almost "gourmand" opening with lemon, pineapple, and rosemary. Reminds me of Indian cuisine. In the drydown, the BEST BY FAR...

Bright sandalwood shines - creamy, delicate, fine, minty, and patchouli-like, mild lemon fresh and pure - antelope crunches dry vetiver grass.
