Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bois de Santal
A versatile sandalwood scent with warm spicy undertones, perfect for both day and evening settings.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Santal
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.
