Beautiful barbershop scent with mediocre performance
Santal Superbe is a beautiful, masculine barbershop scent. While the lavender was standout, I was surprised to get a definite whiff of the lime which I found very attractive in the overall scent. The sandalwood appears eventually which is also nice. No worries about the mint note - it didn't standout and there wasn't any toothpaste or chewing gum vibe.
As much as I liked the scent, I was disappointed with the performance. For longevity, I only got about 4 and a half hours until it became a barely detectable skin scent. Projection was also quite modest after the first hour. For value, I'd rate Santal Superbe as average, not a great buy. Apparently, the Dame fragrances were quite cheap based on what I've read in various reviews but there was a price increase at some point. They are currently at $115 for 1.7 oz (50 ml).
Given the scent and it's great evolution as it dries down, I'd definitely get a bottle if it had better performance. Too bad.
