Santal Extreme

A very powerful oriental sandalwood fragrance with a creamy and slightly floral facet. This scent is warm and cosy and hugs you in deep whiffs of both Australian and Indian Sandalwood. Along with the floral background I get a slightly animalic musk with the lightest touch of patchouli playing a subtle background role. The other notes to me, simply support the sweetness and creaminess of this gorgeous composition. Formed from only middle and base notes this fragrance lasts and lasts (and lasts and lasts even through showers). Middle Note: Cedarwood, Rose Absolute, Base Notes: Santalum spicatum (Australian sandalwood) and Santalum album (Indian sandalwood), Tonka Bean Tincture, Vanilla Bean Tincture, Patchouli and Musk If I were to compare it, I’d say it kind of reminds me of Orto Parisi’s Seminalis but more deep, rounded, richer, more floral, and less head-spinningly intense (if that makes sense?) If you love that you’ll surely love this. In the long dry-down though it really becomes a lot about that musk. Hence why it also reminds me of the OP. Both the sandalwood and musk notes here are similar to my nose. Sits closer to the skin than I’d hoped. But definitely has a lovely sillage and as I said, extremely long lasting. Longevity 12+ hours Sillage: moderate My opinion ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+

This really is a beautiful fragrance. It opens up with a little dirty patchouli, touch of rose and a very good sandalwood backbone. Dries down to a lovely creamy sandalwood. Longevity is insane. Projection is a little more close to the skin but very decent and detectable for a lot of hours. I'm happy to see the rating going up too. All the hate votes are done way back when this was released/put on fragrantica. Now, only real reviews and ratings are going to be made, pushing up the rating. I can't believe the seriousness of comments of people saying that ATH's perfumes are bad and similar to drug store perfumes -.-' Get a life ;) I've tried a bunch of his perfumes and I think almost all are very nice, and most of them are very good performers. Blood Orange has the least performance, which is okay for a freshie. Santal Extreme, Homme and Tobacco, Oud & Vanilla (Tabac) are my favorites of ATH. Homme is such a nice buttery gourmand iris! His current bottles are beautiful and of very nice quality too. Heavy, rubbery/velvet skin and a magnetic cap with the logo engraved.

I disagree with the person below. I have tried few fragrances in my days from older transparent glass bottles and newer black matte bottles, and they all have major differences.Yes muskiness in many is similar because that is a signature accord guy does. If you are sensitive to musks, I'd refrain from having 5 bottles with it and just op for the best one and instead get other scents from the range that don't carry this signature accord. Creator of this line is really good with oud, rose and patchouli. I have this one, Homme which is iris based and Luna that is gourmand oud and Boss B*tch that is another one to admire from olfactory perspective and scent complexity. Blood Orange is a good one to try if you want to skip the muskiness. Instead of buying 3x the PDM Delinas for carrying different variation of ethylmaltol and lichee percentage added in it, maybe it is wise to educate yourself in heavier formulas and more complex scent bases rather than lash out on entire collection.

It's not just a perfume that smells good, it's an experience. Who are you? Where do you want to go? It's the fragrance that changes people, that inspires people. It's the scent of change and ambition. Dare to be different and surround yourself with this fragrance every day.You've tried so many perfumes, but none of them were the right one. They were all too overwhelming, too old-fashioned, or too floral. You're looking for something more than just a fragrance. You want something that's different. Something that makes you feel different. Something that makes you feel like you're more than just someone wearing perfume. You want to be a woman who's strong and confident with a scent to match, this is definitely the one for you

Beautiful creamy sandalwood. Makes me feel loved. Great value for money for a sweet creamy sandalwood. Unisex. I'm a woman and could wear it most seasons and occasions in the UK. Office friendly, baby friendly, date friendly. Wanted to add to this review as ATH is doing some new packaging - it is beautiful. ATH has wonderful customer service. I ordered and paid for 4 samples to test and they sent me several extra to try. Exceptional quality and service. Good value for money.
