What do reviewers say about Palo Santo and Santal 33?
It's good. It's consistently good. All the way through, no tricks, no drydown drama, just wood that smells like it should cost more than it does. That's either exactly what you want or deeply boring.Palo Santo
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
