What do reviewers say about Book - and Santal 33?

Some woody fragrances demand a room. Book + doesn't. It stays close, intimate, personal. The eucalyptus keeps it from getting heavy. The cedar keeps it from getting soft.Book -

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
