Which Should You Buy?
492 chases Le Labo's Santal 33 smoky-leather-sandalwood signature closely, but the ambroxan-driven creaminess and skin-hugging smokiness of the original are traded for a flatter, more generic woody-powdery accord that fades faster.
New York 5th Avenue is a refined fragrance with a balanced blend of spices and wood, perfect for all seasons.
