What do reviewers say about Babylon and Santal Boisé?
This is for someone who wants warmth without aggression. Babylon opens with real spice, saffron, nutmeg, coriander, then folds into vanilla and cedar that stays close and warm.Babylon
This is not a polite sandalwood. Versace cut the sweetness and cranked up the smoke and spice, giving Santal Boisé an edge that matches the brand's bolder aesthetic.Santal Boisé
