What do reviewers say about I and Santal 33?

Built for someone who knows what they want and doesn't need to explain it. The spice hits first, cardamom and cinnamon doing the work, then the incense quietly takes over.I

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
