    What do reviewers say about Santal Volcanique and Santal Nabataea?

    The sandalwood isn't a base note here, it's the whole point. Richard Ibanez built this around a creamy, almost lactonic woodiness that draws you back for another impression.Santal Volcanique
    Sandalwood that smells like it was roasted alongside the coffee. Not for those who want their woods clean and polite. But for anyone chasing something dusty, warm, and a little unexpected.Santal Nabataea
