Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 33 EDP
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Le Labo's Santal 33 (2011) - the Frank Voelkl sandalwood-cardamom-violet niche composition that became Le Labo's defining signature and a 2010s unisex icon, here translated into a violet-cardamom opening over iris-ambrox and a sandalwood-cedarwood close. Honest dupe-fidelity for unisex daily wear at a fraction of the niche price.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Santal EDP
This is a seriously polarising scent - some find it a unique, woody masterpiece, others get headache-inducing pickle juice. You'll either adore its distinctive character or swerve it completely.
