Which Should You Buy?
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.
Match Perfumes No.19 dupes Le Labo's Santal 33, a smoky-woody cult classic. The violet-cardamom opening is a fair echo, but the iris-ambrox heart is less resinous and the cedar-leather base wears thinner and shorter than the original's dense, near-eternal woody trail.
