Beautifully done

A creamy, silky, and perfectly milky sandalwood with the touch of heated skin that feels reminiscent of a lovers embrace. This scent captures the sensuality of fingers dancing over piano keys, the soft and silky music of an orchestrated number, the rich woodiness of ebony keys worn in. It’s a lactonic fragrance with extreme refinement and a softly familiar envelopment. I feel that the cumin note may not be for everyone but I think when paired with the heated skin, it creates the feverish and primal aroma of what laboring away over a piano for hours would invoke. An almost sweaty sweetness? Either way this fragrance isn’t everyone cup of tea but it’s beautiful

Mellow sandalwood

For those unfamiliar with the term 'scentrack', this means a certain song or piece of music is matched with the perfume's vibe. Occasionally a scentrack suggestion appears in the reviews here. L'Orchestre Parfum takes this concept to a whole new level. Each of their perfumes comes with a whole musical theme built around it. They even come with piece of music that is created specifically to match with the fragrance.

So I played the track that comes with Piano Santal and, obviously, it was a relaxing piano piece. I guess it kind of matches the mood in a way, but it feels gimmicky. Bit of an ASMR experience. Not much added value here. So I switched back to my Ritchie Hawtin liveset, which is closer to my idea of a laidback sunday afternoon.

Anyways, sandalwood it is. A very mellow one, I must say. There are no rough edges to be found. Thankfully this does not go down the cardamom-violet road following Santal 33 Eau de Parfum. Instead, the milky aspect is really pushed forward here. I am getting milk tea or even chocolate milk now and then. Other than that, there are little to no distractions. So it all seems to come together with that relaxing piano theme. Even the sillage is low-key, although it does linger on quite some time. In conclusion, a nice and mellow sandalwood with no frills.

Soft Skin

Piano Santal is very lactonic than I expected. It starts with some spice combined with sandalwood. Then spices fade away slightly, and sandalwood emerges with milk. As time passes, milk dominates the scent. It reminds me of warm milk with sandalwood powder in it.

Santal Calling is more linear than this one, and SC has more of a cold and dry sandalwood milk aspect than PS. When Piano Santal is warm milk mixed perfectly with sandalwood and spice powder, Santal Calling is cold milk with dry sandalwood powder that floats around the surface, not entirely mixed. They have something in common, but this has more lactonic, warm aspects. When I couldn't detect milk in Santal Calling, milk is very distinctive here. It reminds me of a newborn baby raised in a temple.

The scent depends on the condition, and it might cause nausea or headaches for some. But luckily, I didn't detect a urine-like scent at all. It's unisex but leans slightly feminine. It'll be perfect in colder seasons. If I were to buy one woody fragrance, it would be this one 100%.

Sandalwood done right!

This is one for my wish list! This is the sandalwood fragrance of my dreams.

Piano Santal is smooth and creamy, without being nauseatingly milky like Sandalwood Temple which I had and declutterred. This is so comforting. An absolute stunner! It really is beautifully done! There really isn’t anything else to say about this one. It’s sandalwood perfection!

This is one for my wish list!

Sandalwood magic

Piano Santal by L’Orchestre Parfum is one of the best sandalwoods on the market, bold statement maybe, but nonetheless I’ve tried my fair share and this one really stands out.

The sandalwood is the star of the show, no doubt. It’s a warm and milky experience which oozes class and sophistication.

It isn’t loud but ever so present in its own, calming way. It’s completely unisex. The concept of the brand is that each fragrance is associated with an instrument, in this case it’s obviously the piano.

It’s silent, calm and beautiful and not loud by any means, it’s meant for the person at ease that doesn’t scream for attention.

Amazing stuff.
