What do reviewers say about Santal Royal and Nostos?
The name suggests sandalwood royalty. The fragrance delivers oud and leather instead. That's not a flaw, that's a statement: the royal house chose something darker, more interesting, more itself.Santal Royal
This is not a crowd-pleaser, and that's the point. The frankincense-saffron opening arrives confrontational, almost astringent, before the Turkish rose absolute wraps it in something unexpected.Nostos
