Le Labo Santal 33

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry.

It opens on violet and cardamom, moves through iris and papyrus, and settles on sandalwood, leather and amber.

• violet: powdery sweet flower with a green leafy edge, much like violet sweets
• 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.
