What do reviewers say about Serpentine and Santal Vanille?
Cardamom opens assertive, almost medicinal, and on some skin the effect is striking. Then the honey arrives, soft and sweet, creating a turning point in how the fragrance unfolds.Serpentine
It wears like a cashmere sweater that's been left in the sun. Creamy, warm, with cedar that keeps everything from getting too sweet. The coconut doesn't shield you from the sandalwood, it just makes.Santal Vanille
