Light, sweet, and woody perfection.
I ordered the 7.5ml traveler of Santal Calling just to try it out. I have many Ex Nihilo bottles and a few other travelers and decants, and I figured Santal Calling was next on my list. I sprayed it once on my wrist and damn- this fragrance was projecting off my arm like crazy for hours- off a single spray! I loved it. Whenever I moved my arm, I would get a whiff and I thought I was smelling something else, something I sprayed earlier that day, but lo and behold, it was the Santal. The scent was light, sweet, woody, and wonderful. The single spray lasted hours. It reminded me of Bond No 9 Governors Island a lot (even though they don't share the same notes) sort of like an oak or chestnut cabinet, or pencil shavings in the best way possible. The sandalwood scent, which I'm normally not a fan of (I'm looking at you Santal 33) is one of the BEST sandalwood scents I've ever come across. I can't wait to give this a full wearing so I can get that scent bubble and detect more of the notes, and I really can't wait to get a full bottle of this one.
