What do reviewers say about Black Monk White Church and Santal Blanc?
No opening, no drydown, just straight into eight hours of forest intensity. Either that appeals to you or it does not. There is no middle ground here.Black Monk White Church
A sandalwood centered fragrance with a bitter fenugreek edge that keeps it interesting and prevents the cream from overwhelming. The warmth develops close to the skin and lasts for 6-8 hours.Santal Blanc
