Creed Santal

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on juniper berries, coriander and ginger, moves through sandalwood, lavender and orange blossom, and settles on tonka bean, musk and cedar.

• juniper: dry resinous berry, piney and gin-like
• coriander: green seedy spice, faintly soapy with a citrus edge

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

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