For the little Maharaja in each of us...
For several weeks now, I have been passively following the world on Parfumo.de
The fact that a fragrance I highly appreciate only has 2 comments has finally turned me into an "activist"!
Original Santal is my first fragrance from Creed and was a blind buy because I got it at a good price. Fortunately, it hit me right away!
Original Santal is supposed to immerse the wearer in the world of Indian Maharajas; an exciting, royal, decadent scent from 1001 Nights.
As the name suggests, sandalwood has a clear dominance in this composition from the Creed family.
It radiates a pleasant spiciness and warmth after a short time.
The spicy component is complemented by the mentioned top notes and rosemary - however, I find it difficult to detect them individually. Rather, they form a truly successful spice bouquet that is beautifully rounded off by the sweetness of tonka bean and vanilla.
This rather heavy mixture is further enhanced by the slightly citrusy hints of orange leaves and ginger. This lightening somewhat mitigates the heaviness and makes Original Santal a perfect companion for a long night for me.
However, I would not recommend applying it too generously - contrary to DirkDS's opinion, Original Santal can indeed overwhelm the environment! It is definitely not a light perfume and also
not suitable for work - unless you work in a bar/club in the evening, etc.
