Pure

Even if I find it too sweet floral right after spraying, sandalwood in the drydown is really beautiful. It wafts through the room giving off oriental vibes. It's exactly that scent that I love smelling on people. Elegant and soothing. Amazing fragrance for that price. I've had a paper strip on my work desk for 7 days and it's still spreading a pleasant sandalwood scent around but unfortunately, directly on my skin it doesn't smell good at all. Hard to compare it to anything, maybe something like rancid powder makeup, after two hours it's sweet powdery, after three it seems to be reaching those lovely sandalwood notes but then coming in contact with water it turns downright unpleasant, sharp musky and a bit like pungent resinous tree bark. What a pity. On my clothes it still smells really good though. If you like sandalwood, you're going to love this but I highly recommend to test it on your skin first. *Sigh* Why do they have to put musk into everything?
