What do reviewers say about Santal de Kandy and Pure Oil of Sandalwood?
The powdery violet heart keeps the cardamom and sandalwood from ever getting heavy. It's not a statement fragrance, it's the one people call 'expensive' without knowing why.Santal de Kandy
Some will say it lacks ambition. That's fair. But there's a case to be made for the fragrance that never tries too hard, the one you reach for when everything else feels like too much.Pure Oil of Sandalwood
