This is *the* Santal 33 clone everyone talks about, and for good reason. It nails the niche, expensive smell at a fraction of the price, though some hardcore fans might spot the subtle differences. It's a divisive scent, so skip the blind buy.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Rich Santal opens with a distinctive powdery violet and green papyrus, spiced by a hint of cardamom. The heart mellows into a creamy iris and amber, before settling into a warm, sophisticated base of rich leather, smooth sandalwood, and dry cedar. It evokes a modern, woody elegance with an underlying warmth.
