What do reviewers say about Eau de Santal and Higher Energy?
Some fragrances announce themselves. Santal doesn't need to. That restraint is exactly why it still holds up after two decades on the shelf. The lavender-sandalwood pairing is old-soul elegance.Eau de Santal
That grapefruit opening is a statement, it hits hard and fast. If that's what you're after, Higher Energy delivers. The tradeoff is a drydown that fades to a quiet murmur as time passes.Higher Energy
