Santal de Mysore is a divisive beast. For some, it's a sublime journey into creamy, spicy sandalwood. For others, it's a full-on curry house assault. Love it or hate it, it certainly makes an impression, and rarely a subtle one.

This discontinued gem is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it are absolutely obsessed. Expect a bold, smooth, and sexy scent that draws compliments like a magnet. Some find it linear or even bubblegum-like, but for many, it's a masterpiece worth the current collector's prices.
