What do reviewers say about Santal des Indes and Santal Royal?
If you're looking for Santal 33, look elsewhere. Santal des Indes is darker, more resinous, the mineral kind of sandalwood that stops you mid-step. The absinthe gives it an edge most woody fragrances.Santal des Indes
The name suggests sandalwood royalty. The fragrance delivers oud and leather instead. That's not a flaw, that's a statement: the royal house chose something darker, more interesting, more itself.Santal Royal
