Santal de Kandy

Tested this today. It must me a skin issue on me, but this is a beautiful clean, pepper-sandalwood fragrance was rather soft projecting and hangs very close to the skin ( but is rather long lasting) on me. The violet notes blend perfectly making the whole experience of the fragrance more beautiful. Had the perfect balance of spice and wood. It is unisex, but leans rather on the masculine spectrum. It imparts a rather lovely veil of scent. I can see this perfect for the office and for perfuming yourself when you want to be understated, yet beautifully fragranced. I still prefer Diptyque - Tam Dao over this though. This is a love, but full bottle worthy? Maybe not :( UPDATE! (8/8/2021): TESTED it once again. Just ordered a full bottle for a good deal. It is a full LOVE. It's basically a luxurious spice+pepper+wood that hovers ever so lightly around you. It's what I expected CDG WonderWood to smell like. My nose must have been tired at that time when I first sniffed this. Can't wait for my bottle!

I purchased a decant. This is a wonderful woody floral perfume. Warm, smooth perfectly blended sandalwood-cedar-violet-cardamom scent. I smell no pepper or jasmine. (I don't like strong pepper or jasmine notes) Perfect for late spring/summer. Leans more feminine. The performance could be a bit better, both the sillage and the longevity, which is a surprise after testing Ambre and Oud from the same line, both are strong and long lasting. Updade: purchased the full bottle. I like this scent. Update 2: I swaped it in the end but kept the 10ml decant.

This is an exquisite presentation of sandalwood, smoothly blended and never powdery or 'soapy'. It is bliss in a bottle. It isn't harsh and chemical like Nest White Sandalwood, not as subtle and fleeting as KM's Boise Blond, not as dry as Commodity's Special Reserve not overwhelmed by spices as is Caswell & Massey's Sandalwood. Byblos' Sandalwood is very very dry. I love Sandalwood and this is the perfect sandalwood fragrance for me. Boucheron fragrances are, in my opinion, unmatched. I miss the original 'Jaipur'.

Very well done, classy sandalwood scent. Opens with a peppery spicy(cardamom) sandalwood+cedarwood. I detect no sour notes at all. Floral notes never compete but subtly hide in the background. The interplay between the spices and woods is perfect. Dries down to a quality sandalwood. Very unisex. Not too powdery. Sillage is moderate. Longevity is good. Definitely worth a try. Glad to have bought a bottle

Inoffensive, smooth, clean santal wood. It is not too heavy, not too dry, but also,if it makes sense, not too fresh. It is just a delicate, bit woody, nice santal fragrance. Good projection and longevity. If you love santal wood, this could be the perfect scent for office or for warmer days.
