Aromara Santal Thirty Three is an Extrait de Parfum. Santal Thirty Three opens with Violet and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Papyrus, Ambrox Super, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Aromara's Santal Thirty Three carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Santal Thirty Three is Aromara's 35% Extrait interpretation of Le Labo Santal 33, the woody-aromatic that defined a decade of niche minimalism. It reproduces the cardamom-and-violet opening and the leathery ambrox-sandalwood signature reasonably well, but comes across noticeably flatter and less creamy than the original's iconic sillage, with the leather and musk pushed forward to compensate for cheaper sandalwood.

About

Santal Thirty Three opens with a spiced, slightly sweet burst of cardamom and violet accord, echoing the original's understated introduction. The heart brings iris and papyrus alongside a synthetic ambrox facet that gives the scent its recognisable smoky-woody lift. In the base, Australian sandalwood, cedar, leather and musk build a creamy, addictive woody core reminiscent of Le Labo's cult classic. At 35% Extrait it holds its shape well through the dry-down, though the overall texture is thinner and the leather more assertive than the smooth, rounded original, giving it a slightly rougher, more masculine edge than the unisex source it is chasing.
