Amber Musk Santal

Fantastic scent. Cozy, warm, feminine, elegant, sweet but just enough. My first AERIN full size, as I felt this one was worth it. Doesn’t last too long on skin (maybe 4 hours), I found it’s much stronger on clothes for me.

This is just heaven in a bottle. Smells like a warm hug, my boyfriend loves it too.

Amber Musk Santal is everything I wanted from Amber Musk. They are both beautiful light, airy, everyday, inoffensive skin scents. However, AMS performs longer, projects slightly stronger, and is much more cozy, warm, and sweet. Amber Musk feels more fresh but its longevity is questionable, so I end up layering it with amber/vanilla scents to get more projection. I don't think you necessarily need both, but if you're trying to decide between the two and enjoy sweeter Vanilla fragrances, I would go with Amber Musk Santal.

I enjoy the original but never hit the bullet to buy a bottle as I feel it’s a light wearing, airy, easy reach of a perfume, and the performance isn’t great. Unsurprisingly for a fragrance that has 3 of my favourite notes in its name Amber Musk Santal is a very enjoyable scent to me. It definitely maintains the DNA of the original but I feel the sandalwood adds a bit of edge that just swings it for me. Again the longevity isn’t super. But it smells really good. I’d be interested to do a side by side wear test.

This is really a flanker. The OG DNA is definitely there. It has much more coconut, and the sandalwood is unmistakably amped up. There is an undertone of Aerin’s Gardenia Rattan in this. Both Amber Musk and Santal are beautiful. But for me, OG is better. I love OG; I like Santal.
