Lost in Santal

A personal top 5 B&BW ffm of all-time! Finally, a break from BBW's over saturation of fruity—florals that 90% lean WAY too sweet and girly for me; a Millennial broad. If ppl would actually test this on skin, they would wake up to reality: none of this is spray or aerosol cleaner, OR pickles. This base is quite warm, very novice–friendly, and I'm pleasantly reminded of the queue line of "E.T.s Adventure" ride at Universal ORL. [If ya know, ya know]. Their nothing like that realistic forest scene that queue line scent. Before that base hits nastalgia like above-described, the cardamom top note needs to dissipate, but y'all know B&BW ffm's— they only last 20 mins; any longer than that, you've completely drowned yourself to make it the half hr mark🤙 As American consumers, we know to only purchase from B&BW on SAS's, right? Right. Their Everyday Lux Collection rocks tho. Theirs a handful of gems in it😎

Upon the initial spray, you are hit with a strong note of cardamom and sandalwood. And it is perfect; think of the opening of Santal 33, a creamy and sweet sandalwood that pairs excellently with the cardamon, adding more depth to the spice. If you are a fan of Santal 33, this should be an easy pick-up for you. The body spray is very close to the original, just a tad sweeter upon the initial spay. The aroma projects very well for the first five minutes. After five minutes, the aroma gets closer to the skin, lasting well over two hours. I know this doesn't sound good for longevity, but you have to remember this is a body spray concentration, and it's designed for casual use.

I haven’t smelled Santal 33, but I own both Lost in Santal (Bath & Body Works) and No. 04 de Balincourt (Maison Louis Marie), and they’re quite similar. Lost in Santal opens sweeter, fruitier, and slightly more powdery, while No. 04 is woodier, drier, and spicier. The overall scent profile is very close, with that familiar creamy sandalwood base. Layering them works well. Lost in Santal softens No. 04’s dryness, while No. 04 adds more depth to Lost in Santal.

Just got this today and I can say Lost in Santal is one of Bath and Body Works best scents it's really unique and unisex, I actually bought this because it's also being compared to Katy Perry's INDI parfum (which is my signature scent) and I didn't regret buying this because yes they do really share the same scent profile especially on their dry down, both scents are warm, creamy and cozy. 💚

This is such an unexpected and high quality scent from Bath and Body Works. It really is just a straightforward cardamom and sandalwood fragrance, but if you like those notes, you’ll be impressed — and personally, I love it. Layering with this will add a touch of luxury to any fragrance you’re wearing. It lasts all day on clothes and a few hours on skin.

This is the best of any Santal dupe I've smelled. No pickle detected here (thank God). This is such a nice WOODY, milky, and smooth scent!! It just tickles my brain right. When spraying the paper in the store I was intrigued, but not sure I loved it. Now, wearing it, I am in love. BBW did a great job with this one.

I was expecting to hate this because a lot of people say that it smells like pickles to them. However, it smelled like creamy and sweet milk when I tried it on my skin. It even smells more like milk than BBW Milk which has a tiny bit of sour fruitiness to my nose. I love it but longetivity and projection are weak.

I really like how androgynous this scent is. Did not expect to love this and wasn't seeking the Santal DNA I do wish it lasted longer. Regardless, I do enjoy layering w my more masc leaning scents

i love this collection and i especially love this scent. they're all perfect for layering and can be layered together. they're also all perfect all year round.

Not creamy. Warm. Like a tree bark giving u a hug. On the other side, like pickle lol. Layer with some woody products. compliment getter!

Sandalwood note and y’all scream pickles 🙄 It’s very woodsy, spicy, and herbal. The most unisex of the whole line!!

It’s a nice herbal, woodsy fragrance. Totally unisex. I’ve never used Santal 33 but I did smell the Le Monde Gourmand dupe. Lost in Santal is more mellow and even a the tiniest bit sweet. Some of the Santal fragrances out there do smell sour and pickley, but this one does not, at least not on me. It smells like a walk in the woods. If you want it to last, spray it in your hair, because like any body mist, it may not last all that long on your skin. I layered it with my VS Bombshell yesterday and it worked really well together, bringing out the pine base notes in Bombshell. I’m interested in finding a vanilla that layers well with Lost in Santal, too, because when I smell cardamom all I can think of is chai!

While most B&BW Body Mist's are advertised for women, this one in particular definitely fits the Unisex category. I love Sandalwood, and this has such a deep woodsy smell. Since it's release this is what I grab and spray on before bed, and since it is simply a body mist the smell does not linger overnight, you can overspray and not worry about your pillow or blanket retaining the smell. B&BW has also been heavy on the sales and with the Holidays coming up, if you can pick this up for under $6, it's a damn steal. I got 5 bottles lol.

I usually prefer sweeter or more floral scents but the spiciness of this one grabbed me. I sampled in-store because I was curious about the association with Santal 33, which has been hyped a LOT. Can’t speak to how they compare, but I do really like this BBW fragrance mist “copy.” It’s woodsy and spicy, with a sexy edge. I’m detecting a slight pale santo note which reminds me of Eilish 2 (gray bottle). This is super evocative of fall to me, but I could also see it working in winter and spring. Very sophisticated unisex scent.

I tested this at BB&W today and found it super pleasant, something cozy and aromatic that I would definitely enjoy wearing because of the notes. Had no idea about the Santal 33 association, never tried it because it's too popular and a budget buster for me. OK, I admit it, I'm afraid I would like Santal 33, lol. Putting Lost in Santal on the Christmas list. And yes, I don't have expectations of the Sandalwood in this being in the same realm as vintage Samsara.

Okay now this actually smells REALLY good, great quality for a mist and so close to Santal 33. Unisex straight down the middle. BUT - I will say I would probably only purchase this if it had a matching lotion or body cream to layer with it, because of the longevity only being an hour long of wear if that. Overall, this is super good smelling though.

I mostly pick up on a sweet cardamom note once it dries down. Very low staying power but well within expectations for a BBW spray. Satisfied with purchase for the price point.

A sweeter / musky version of Le Labo Santal 33. If you want a Santal 33 identical equivalent without the price tag try Sand Service by Cra-Yon 💯

Quite similar to Santal 33 to my nose but fresher. Great fresh out the bath scent. Lasted on my skin over 2 hours.

Cardamon in a bottle. This is the scent to buy to learn if you truly like that note tbh. I like it.
