    What do reviewers say about Santal Nabataea and SM Café?

    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
    If you've ever wanted to smell like a coffee shop at 2am, this is it. The leather doesn't wait for permission. Gets compliments from people who lean in first.SM Café
