One of my #1s
I'm picky, I get headaches easy, but Sel Santal gives me warmth, salt, creaminess, slightly masculine without the pain.
Sel Santal smells like that one mens' bodywash that you can't get over. It's like a warm hug to me. While it leans masculine I think anyone can wear it.
I would never compare this to Santal 33. They are both centered around sandalwood, yes, but Sel Santal carries none of the pickle and pencils that Santal 33 gives me. It doesn't give off that 'perfume-y' feeling for me that often assaults my nose and leaves me running to wash my wrist off.
I can't speak for the longevity and sillage as I go light on all my fragrances, but it seems to stick for a good while considering! I love doing a small spray or two after a evening shower, and it lasts until morning, nice and close to the skin so it's not constantly in my face. It's one of those scents that seems to come back every time you forget it, leaves you smelling your shirt or wrist whenever you catch a whiff of it.

Bright Creamy Wood
This is taking a shower at the beach in an outdoor stall made of cedarwood. Definitely unisex and with each sniff a different note takes center stage. I definitely like this and it's by no means an unpleasant smell but despite it being unisex I find it runs a *tad* masculine on me, and while I do like the way some masculine scents work on me this isn't one I would find reaching for very often. All in all still a lovely fresh but comforting wood.

Fresh, green, creamy, woody, spicy and sweet.
Blind bought this for a steel.
It's green, woody, fresh, sweet, creamy, spicy and powdery.
I do get the salt, violet, fig and whipped cream and in the dry down the amber and sandalwood comes trough.
It layers really well with Clean Reserve Skin.
I share it with my husband, but I think I wear it more than him tough, perfectly unisex.

Solid fragrance at a fair price
Sel Santal surprises with a creamy, slightly salty sandalwood composition with clean freshness and warmth in the drydown. It's not a scent that screams loud, but that's exactly what makes it so wearable and pleasant. Of course, this is a niche experience, but for the price, this is a good fragrance. It smells higher quality and is versatile. Summary: Sel Santal is a good fragrance for the price. It is minimalist, stylish and reliable. If you like sandalwood, you shouldn't go wrong here.

Spicy floral, yet soft sandwood. Very close sillage, very short longevity. Good for hot Summer days.

An echo of Santal 33, but with so many oddly chosen extra notes tacked on that they cheapen the experience. Why is there rose in this?

I LOVE THIS. Like if YSL Opium EDT and Aqua di Gio had a baby, and added a bit of cream to the final mix.
