Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - New York EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Le Labo Santal 33 (2011) - violet, sandalwood and leather translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
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.
