Sandalwood from Carpo's Hand

The best Creed that isn't one & doesn't really smell like a specific one? Yes, I fully agree with Bertel. "Imperial Santal" is one of the most beautiful, freshest & brightest sandalwood fragrances I have ever had the pleasure of smelling. For me, the most usable scent from the Stuttgart Castle Perfumery. I could wear it every day & almost make it my signature. Sometimes sandalwood can be annoying - not here at all. This scratchy-sweet wood needs to be brightened up, given such a noble summer look. Refined with grapefruit, moss & musk. In perfect balance. Everything is clearly definable & detectable. Like a "Original Santal" Sport or Fresh.

An elegant all-rounder & a blend that you don't come across every day. To be honest, never. Additionally, it is outstanding in price for the finest quality & good performance. There is hardly anything to criticize here. If I could choose a fragrance from the Stuttgart masters - this choice would be concluded. Anyone who likes sandalwood must test this one under all circumstances. An undiscovered masterpiece - or at least very close. It has rekindled my old love for the often somewhat temperamental wood. Great cinema, deep feelings, revivable every day. Sandalwood in summer - Next Level Sh**.

Bottle: doesn’t have to be ornate... but this is quite simple
Sillage: always works, never hurts
Longevity: lasts a solid 5-7 hours

Conclusion: the best sandalwood for every day? Almost aquatic, almost Creed, almost too beautiful to be true! Wonderful!

Sandalwood isn't really my thing, but your description might convince me to give it a try.

Oh, thanks for the tip! It's a Micallef, not a Creed!

Nice that we perceive it similarly here, even if we evaluate and appreciate it differently for ourselves :-) It's not really my thing; it can occasionally move on to loving hands.
