    Real talk

    The sage top is sharper than expected, almost medicinal at first. Give it ten minutes before forming an opinion. When Guaiac Wood kicks in, things settle into something genuinely contemplative.Palo Santo
    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
