What do reviewers say about Oud & Santal and Santal 33?

Oud can intimidate. This isn't that. Mathilde Laurent stripped the barnyard and kept the bewitching part, oud's resinous darkness softened by plum and sandalwood into something almost approachable.Oud & Santal

This fragrance is less a perfume and more an atmospheric event. The sandalwood is the anchor but the leather and papyrus make it interesting. Not everyone will appreciate the slightly feral quality.Santal 33
