It's not unprecedented, it doesn't break any new ground, but it's extremely soothing and comforting. I've encountered the same type of sandalwood in Costume National (Homme), and the aromatic part is similar to 1899 Hemingway (HdP). It is, however, significantly fresher and less sweet than either of the two above mentioned, and the lack of vanilla and cinnamon is much appreciated.
A rather chameleonic fragrance. At times, unrelated to the top-heart-base evolution, it seems to me that the creamy sandalwood, sharpened somewhat by cedar, kills every other accord, other times the aromatic notes take hold and all I can smell is juniper and balsam fir. It even happens that, at the same time, on one wrist I feel conifers and sandalwood on the other.
Unisex from head to toe. I can't think of a more gender neutral note than sandalwood. I wish it was more present though, tantric sex is said to last a tad longer.
