A pretty nice, underrated 80's powerhouse.
If smells bring images into my head, this Santos Concentree brought me the idea of Al Pacino in Scarface. This cologne starts pretty bright with herbs and even a hot pepper note, which i have understood is a combo of eugenol and aldehydes. Then the drydown comes with sandalwood and patchouli, the projection drops when the drydown is reached and when it is sprayed it is a monster. Overall a nice, elegant cologne with touches of warm spicy. (In a pretty particular way, it is not sweet, choking heavy or anything like that) An amazing scent and the performance is good as well, i recall some 8 hours.

Original SANTOS Concentrée vs. Eau de Toilette vs. ReFo
I guess the two negative comments to the Concentrée have a ReFo!?
I have an old version. It's not hard to tell by the bottle. The original looks like the pictures below. Noble brown-golden bottle framed by an anthracite-golden setting.
The Concentrée is even finer than the EdT. Where the EdT brutally bangs in and scares off many fragrance-sensitive people, the Concentrée is tender and more reserved from the beginning and develops this lovely, effervescent fragrance, which the EdT only emits at the end, early in the heart note and which lasts the whole day and is even still there in the morning.
Best SANTOS ever, even the Eau de Toilette doesn't come along. But if you're more animalistic, like with KOUROS, you should go for EdT, but without exception the old very, very rare version No.1.

I would also like to note that the picture above of the bottle of Santos (Eau de Toilette Concentrée) Cartier 1981, is the new version and does not actually belong there. I would provide photos of the original if someone could write me to whom I had to send them.

A mix of popular in 80s notes made honest but without panache. Brown soup seasoned with nutmeg. Good quality but terribly boring

This perfume is so well rounded. I can see it shining for the night-out. A real gentleman’s scent, woody spicy real class in a bottle.
