What do reviewers say about Santal Kardamon and Santal de Kandy?
Built for someone who wants their spices unfiltered and their sandalwood creamy. It's not interested in being safe, it's the kind of fragrance that earns either love or hate. Wear it anyway.Santal Kardamon
The powdery violet heart keeps the cardamom and sandalwood from ever getting heavy. It's not a statement fragrance, it's the one people call 'expensive' without knowing why.Santal de Kandy
