What do reviewers say about Santal Basmati and Piano Santal?
Not the fragrance that fills a room. The one that makes them lean closer. Santal Basmati is sandalwood treated as comfort food, creamy, addictive, and disarmingly simple.Santal Basmati
This is a skin-enhancer dressed in sandalwood. No screaming projection here, but the longevity on clothes is surprisingly strong. Cumin in the heart gives it a subtle edge that keeps it from feeling.Piano Santal
