Real talk
This one lives or dies on the sandalwood. If that note makes you lean in, you'll find something worth keeping. If it doesn't, nothing else here will change your mind.Absolutely Vital
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
