What do reviewers say about Santal 33 and Herba Zen?
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
Fresh enough to wear to a meeting, green enough to mean it. This isn't a safe choice, it's a considered one. The mint gives it sharpness, but the artemisia keeps it from reading like aftershave.Herba Zen
