Year: 1997
Notes: smoke, sandalwood, amyris
Contrary to personal expectations, Santal is a dry, austere and smoky sandalwood effort.
Furthermore, there's hardly any creaminess or sweetness, with a sharp mustiness permeating throughout. One also severely doubts the use of a large ratio of sandalwood, with the impression that the amyris (also known as West Indian sandalwood) has been added as a cheap sandalwood substitute.
Overall, it's a disappointing release with very poor staying power.
