What do reviewers say about Santal Pondicherry and Seta?
The saffron doesn't announce itself. It complicates things. That warm, slightly medicinal spice threading through cedar and vanilla means this isn't a safe bet.Santal Pondicherry
The saffron is the divide. It pulls you in or it doesn't, there's no middle ground on this one. Once it settles, though, you're left with warm amber and vanilla that feels like it was made for you.Seta
