What do reviewers say about Benjoin Bohème and Santal Volcanique?
Not a fragrance that fills the room, fills you instead. The benzoin works close to the skin, almost shy, but what it gives over 8 to 10 hours is worth every milliliter of the price.Benjoin Bohème
The sandalwood isn't a base note here, it's the whole point. Richard Ibanez built this around a creamy, almost lactonic woodiness that draws you back for another impression.Santal Volcanique
