Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fleur de Santal
This one's a slow burner, blooming on skin and baffling some with its quiet opening. But give it time, because Fleur de Santal evolves into a creamy, comforting dream. It's a love-it-or-hate-it for some but definitely a sophisticated skin scent for the patient.

Our Verdict - Santal du Pacifique
This is a truly divisive sandalwood, cherished by some for its authentic, creamy woodiness, while others get nothing but sour pickles or damp laundry. Performance is a constant topic, with many reporting fleeting longevity.
