Clean Sel Santal is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Sel Santal opens with Bergamot, Lime, Petitgrain, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Salt, Cream, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Rose. Clean's Sel Santal carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive woody number - some get a sophisticated, salty cedar, others are just left with a cheap aftershave or, worse, straight-up pickles. Definitely not a safe blind buy, especially if you're not into leaning masculine.

About

Opening with a sharp, juicy burst of lime and bergamot, Sel Santal quickly introduces a salty, woody core. Powdery iris and violet mingle with creamy hazelnut and fig, adding a subtle sweetness and softness that attempts to balance the dominant, aromatic sandalwood. It finishes with a musky amber, leaving a clean yet earthy trail.
