I have been on the hunt for a staple Palo Santo fragrance to add to my collection for some time. I've gotten a few samples, and I feel like I'm still looking. I want something very dry, woody, and PURE palo santo. I want it to be undeniably Holy Wooooood.
These are what I've tried so far:
1) Eau de Californie - my favorite so far, but I do wish it had a bit more projection, or oomph. I don't need a 'beast mode' fragrance, but this really is suuuuper soft and subtle. And for the price of Celine fragrances, I would prefer if it had a little bit better performance.
2) Holy Stick - I really really wanted to love this one, but I have such an aversion to clove in fragrance that that's all I could smell. It's just a wee bit too spicy for me, but objectively a beautiful fragrance.
3) Palo Santo Halo - The new Regime des Fleurs Fait Main. It was just released today, but I've had a sample of it for a little while from a previous order. It really is lovely, but I think it's just a teeeeny bit too citrusy for me. I would still consider getting this if they ended up releasing an edp version if I still can't find one.
4) Papillon de Nuit - This is the perfect Palo Santo scent, but it's in an oil roll on. ((cries)) I really really need this but in a spray form! I think this one is also discontinued. I got a small sample of it ages ago and fell in love, and now wish I would have at least gotten the oil to hold me over.
I'd love to hear what you've tried and if there even is anything out there that fits the bill of what I'm looking for! Thanks in advance!
