Woody citrus with a classic masculine angle
Essential Parfums Orange X Santal is fittingly a citric, woody blend, which interestingly smells like a classic men’s cologne, a palatable balance between the sharp orange and santal concept of sandalwood with a bit of a cedrat vibe, also. Orange and sandalwood themselves dominate the opening minutes but they quickly give way to the more gentlemanly, Cypress, oakmoss, and basil further darker and deepen things, making for an experience that ranges from fairly unisex to stereotypically masculine. I think opinions could vary on this but I do regard it as something that Acqua di Parma might release in their men’s Colonia line, and something from Profumum Roma might be similar. I really love it; it has class, freshness, depth, and an ease of wearing that makes it both a versatile everyday scent that also smells special, and it performs quite well.
Like the rest of the line, this is EDP concentration and priced at $96 for 100ml, a very good deal in the current market, and sold in the US both via the house website and boutiques like Ministry of Scent, from which I bought my sample set.
