What do reviewers say about VLAD and Santal 33?
VLAD is not trying to seduce you. The blood note is confrontational in a way few modern fragrances attempt, and the birch drydown will dominate everything within smelling distance.VLAD
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
