Stylish, modern, pleasing - the successful interpretation of a gentleman in the 3rd millennium
If a fragrance is rated with 8.7 points here, the expectation naturally rises enormously for that reason alone and I really expect an absolute industry highlight. That said, I want to have added that Birkholz not as a mass producer and thus sorted into the industrial corner, no, they call themselves a manufactory, that is, here is worked craftsmanship at the highest level.
Sir Santal, sandalwood for the well-groomed gentleman so. Let's see. The connoisseur of the manufacture Birkholz knows, before the spray head can be operated, a leather-covered cap must be removed. Just touching this cap is something special, especially and also in comparison to many partly quite noble and elaborately processed metal lids. From the first moment it is suggested, you are holding something special in your hand.
Sprayer served and greedily inhaled the prelude. Yes, a very pleasing composition from the start, which brings the manufactory Birkholz here to the start.
Positively expressed: an almost perfect blend of wood, pepper, leather and musk, harmoniously matched, elegant, no speaker, exceedingly pleasant, a modern and high-quality men's fragrance in my view. The slight floral note at the beginning (I assume due to the iris) brings a softness to the game, which is gradually replaced by the musk. Leather and wood form an excellent bond and make the fragrance an overall absolutely round experience.
Negative: How now, is there anything negative to write here? The point is, the more fragrances you know, the more naturally fall comparisons to other creations, the more you look for what is new and what you have never smelled so. Sir Santal brings up associations with Schwarzlose's Leder 6, which, in direct comparison, is given a very special touch by the presence of vanilla. And then Sir Santal reminds me very distantly also (the Birkholz people will stone me for this comparison) Penhaligon's Sartorial, which however represents the small and delicate, restrained brother from the Barber genre.
The durability is fully okay, on my skin good 8 hours, the sillage could m.E. Something stronger turn out. If you wear such a beautifully composed fragrance, then the environment should also have what of it, especially since here really compliments can be collected ... Overall, the scent progression (at least for me) is very linear, but this is no harm, because the composition of the individual ingredients is so successful that it would be almost a pity to force here with the crowbar a however stored course.
The flacon is unparalleled, nobly made, extremely high quality, Birkholz has obviously made an effort to pack a top product also adequately and present in the bathroom accordingly. This bottle is sure everyone likes to put on, it is simply an eye catcher.
Enough of the praise, we come back to bare facts.
A great arranged fragrance, no question. From certain weaknesses in the sillage times apart an all-round successful performance. This round something makes him in my view even wearable for the ladies, even if the name promises otherwise. I tend to see Sir Santal because of its spicy leatheriness in autumn and winter, for the summer for me just too heavy.
Will I buy it? No. First, because in the end result too little far away from leather 6 for me. Second, because the price tag is a big one, 276 hammers don't just go over the counter on the side. Thirdly, because the fragrance, although in sum perhaps one of the best ever, just doesn't have enough edge to it for me. Everyone will like you with Sir Santal, but I don't have to and don't want to be everybody's darling. In this respect, I have to take Cedar'n Pepper again more closely under the magnifying glass or the nose, that is for me the uncouth, big, cheeky and cheeky brother of Sir Santal, just not the crowd pleaser, but one who is conspicuous, who can also sometimes bump, but that also makes a charm.
Test recommendation for all ladies who want to let your sir smell good at home at Christmas (and of course also every day), test recommendation also for all kind who are looking for a fantastic fragrance, but also wants to be paid dearly.
