Ajmal Santal Wood

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on cumin, cardamom and marigold, moves through rose, cedar and ginger, and settles on sandalwood, agarwood (oud) and patchouli.

• cumin: warm, dusty, unmistakably sweaty at any real dose. The note people either forgive or refuse
• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
