Santal Wood

Which Should You Buy?
This is a masterpiece that should never have been discontinued. An elegant, fresh, and spicy rose for men that turns heads without shouting, though some find it a touch too floral or dated. It's often debated if it's truly masculine, but it definitely leaves an impression.
Ajmal Santal Wood is a divisive one. You'll either love its opulent, rich Middle Eastern take on sandalwood and oud, or you'll be put off by the challenging cumin and prominent florals, calling it 'grandma juice'. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
