New York 5th Avenue Eau de Parfum vs Santal 33 Extrait
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
New York 5th Avenue is a refined fragrance with a balanced blend of spices and wood, perfect for all seasons.
Pearl Fragrances' take on Le Labo's cult Santal 33 keeps the creamy sandalwood-cardamom signature recognisable, but the violet and leather that make the original so polarising fade fast, leaving a simpler, sweeter woody musk within a couple of hours.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The rich blend of woody and spicy notes makes it suitable for cooler temperatures, ideal for spring and fall. It maintains versatility for summer due to its fresh accords.
Occasions
Perfect for office and date settings due to its moderate projection and sophisticated character. It's less suited for sporty or highly casual environments.
Seasons
Creamy sandalwood and cardamom read warm and cosy, best suited to cooler months rather than summer heat.
Occasions
Understated and versatile enough for office wear, and equally comfortable in casual everyday settings.
