Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Summanus
Summanus is a deeply polarising fragrance; a bold, boozy rose with serious staying power. While some rave about its sophisticated warmth and gourmand elements, others find it shockingly skanky. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Santal Wood
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Summanus

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it less suitable for office wear. The rich, boozy gourmand profile and strong projection are perfect for date nights and evening formal events, but it's too heavy for casual daytime or sport.

Santal Wood

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it too much for the office. This is a scent for intimate evening wear and formal events, or for making a memorable statement, not for casual jogs.
