Santal 33 Le Labo 2011 Eau de Parfum

For a long time, this fragrance didn't let me think straight. It was through boredom in the first Lockdown that I accidentally came across Le Labo. I've always been into minimalist, beautiful looking things. And there the brand with its appearance was made for me. For me it was clear, the next perfume you buy here. After some research, I was faced with the decision: Bergamot 22 or Santal 33? Due to the desire for summer and the anticipation of the coming warm nights, it became Le Labo's Bergamotte 22. Also a wonderful fragrance to which I will gladly write a review at a later date! Nevertheless, Santal 33 never really let me go. I even dreamt of this fragrance once (crazy, I know!).

Finally, about two weeks ago, curiosity got the better of me and I ordered the perfume blind. With a huge sense of anticipation, I unwrapped the package two days later and took the bottle out of the beautiful box. One spray on the left side of the neck, one on the right. The first association on my part was strolling through a boutique or a classy furniture store, because it just smelled so clean like leather. A little later, I picked up an herbaceous green note. I couldn't really make out the sandalwood though. Maybe I just have a wrong idea of how sandalwood should smell. All in all, the fragrance seems very balanced to me. Fits so wonderfully to me :)

Irritated I am, however, by durability and sillage. While others write here of several hours of endurance and powerful sillage, I can rather report a maximum of five hours and mediocre projection. Here's my question: how many sprays do you use? Also in view of the fact that your environment should perceive the scent.
