Sandalwood, oh Sandalwood…
Reviews about perfumes often vary, which is good, but sometimes it feels so unfair to the scent. Therefore, I want to advocate for a fragrance with this review that many may have already dismissed based on its rating.
But let’s start from the beginning.
The bottle and the packaging are beautiful and elegant, the bottle evokes a hint of retro feeling. It feels good in hand and looks fantastic on the shelf.
The scent on my skin does not reflect at all what is listed in the notes. From the top note to the base note, I smell a soft sandalwood scent that does not leave the wearer’s side. The fragrance is by no means linear; it goes through several phases from fresh to creamy, but the sandalwood remains. Rose, oud? Not for me, maybe a very slight oud note in the background.
The sandalwood note is really soft, creamy, and not at all overpowering for me. There are surely many perfume lovers who do not like sandalwood. Still, give the scent a chance; you might be surprised.
The performance is good for me. At first, I was disappointed because I could no longer perceive the scent after about 90 minutes. However, my wife assured me that it was still there, and in the evening, I occasionally caught a waft of the fragrance, so I assume that the scent works well with skin chemistry and requires some development.
The sillage is even office-appropriate for me; there’s a nice bubble about an arm's length around you. However, I would categorize the scent more for autumn/winter and perhaps spring. My spraying tip would be 3-5 sprays.
My conclusion is:
The retail price may be a bit high, but the quality is there. Anyone looking for an intriguing sandalwood scent should give it a test.
