Gentle Dupe to Santal 33
This perfume is a dream!
For me it's really a great alternative to Santal 33, the fragrance definitely has the Santal 33 DNA, but still stands out for its gentleness.
To the fragrance:
For me, the woods together with the amber have something of papyrus, therefore perhaps the similarity to Santal 33.
The sandalwood is ultra creamy. Vetiver makes the woody fragrance a little greener. I also notice the spices, they make the fragrance almost delicious, but are not too strong. Everything stays in balance.
The nice thing is that the famous dill note of Santal 33 is not present here. So this could be something for many people for whom Santal 33 was too much.
Shelf life/silage:
The durability is unfortunately the shortcoming. It only lasts for 2h.
The Sillage is very very weak and with such a great scent this is really unfortunate.
Conclusion:
The smell is a dream! A gentle dupe to Santal 33, without a dill note, but unfortunately also with poor durability/silage. Maybe a nice bed scent for autumn/winter?

Cosy relaxing scent to fall asleep
This fragrance definitely belongs to the super classics. So far I had only heard positive things about it. For me this is an absolutely timeless fragrance, totally classy. Although I don't wear it during the day, because it is too close...
