Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Santal Royal EDP
Santal Royal is a rich, complex scent that beautifully balances oud, rose, and sandalwood. It's a divisive one for some, with reformulations causing a stir, but many find it a sophisticated choice for cooler weather.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Good Plan EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of By Kilian - Cruel Intentions - a citrus fragrance led by Violet, Rose, Bergamot, with woody depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

Santal Royal

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This heavy, long-lasting scent leans formal and is best suited for special events or date nights where you want to make an impression. Its intense woods, oud, and leather are too potent for everyday office wear or casual settings, especially given its strong sillage.

Good Plan

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, woody profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
