What do reviewers say about Santal Blanc and Black I?
A sandalwood centered fragrance with a bitter fenugreek edge that keeps it interesting and prevents the cream from overwhelming. The warmth develops close to the skin and lasts for 6-8 hours.Santal Blanc
This one doesn't fill the room. It fills the space you're standing in. Moderate sillage means people notice you only when they're close enough to say hello.Black I
