What do reviewers say about Santal Royal and Bois Monochrome?
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
The heliotrope-tonka combination gives this something unexpected, powdery but warm, the softness of a cashmere sweater but grounded in wood and smoke.Bois Monochrome
