    What do reviewers say about Santal Boisé and 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
    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
