What do reviewers say about Dear Lord and Santal 33?
Simple structure, not simple execution. Papyrus can become heavy or smoky in the wrong hands. Here it stays paper-dry, almost meditative. The vanilla keeps it grounded without going sweet or.Dear Lord
This fragrance is less a perfume and more an atmospheric event. The sandalwood is the anchor but the leather and papyrus make it interesting. Not everyone will appreciate the slightly feral quality.Santal 33
