Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Inspired by Santal 33

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.

Our Verdict - Ruhe

Seriously good, a proper head-turner. Ruhe smashes it with a sandalwood-leather blend that’s more addictive than it has any right to be. It's a scent that gets noticed, with a unique warmth that's clearly a crowd-pleaser.

Best For:

Date Casual Formal

Also Works:

The woody and leathery accords, combined with good longevity and sillage reported by some, make it less ideal for a strict office environment but perfect for date nights and formal events. Its unique character also lends itself well to sophisticated casual outings.
