Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Santal's Kiss is a close relative of Santal 33, and it goes for the same dry, creamy, papery woods. The first impression is green and woody: cedar and papyrus have a fresh-cut, papery edge, and cardamom brings a warm, spicy crackle on top. Sandalwood runs through the middle, soft and creamy rather than sharp. Violet and iris lay a powdery floral cloud over it, which gives the wood a smooth, dry finish. A soft leather and a little amber sit in the base, making it feel lived-in and comforting. It lasts well and projects strongly for a wood, so a couple of sprays will fill a small room. Spring and autumn suit it best, with summer possible for lighter application. It is easy to wear for the office and weekend, and a good pick for a date. On the shelf it sits next to Santal 33 as a more affordable alternative.
