Very beautiful, Sweet, vanilla, powdery, delicate, woody, musky, warm, fruity, bright, white floral, effervescent, floral, feminine, romantic, sensual, seductive, flirty, chic, classy, elegant, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, divine, heavenly, radiant, luminous, ethereal, graceful, enchanting, sophisticated, luxe, lush, alluring, tempting, intoxicating, addictive, intriguing, inviting, cozy, comforting This is absolutely gorgeous! One of my top favorites! I can actually picture a beautifully decorated wedding cake with a champagne flute sitting next to it amongst sweet fruits, and delicate flowers! On me it opens with a burst of bright, fruity, and sparkling champagne, sweet black currant, juicy nectarine, yummy praline, slightly citrusy floral orange blossom, lush jasmine, with a very elegant, woody, and powdery musky ambery vanilla that intertwines itself throughout the fragrance. As it dries down the delicate, powdery, and woody vanilla scent grows sweeter, and more prominent. It also gains depth with the woody and powdery sandalwood, musk, and amberwood notes, as well as just a whisper of an earthy scent from the oak moss. The notes that are the most prominent on me are the champagne, nectarine, orange blossom, vanilla, sugar, sandalwood, musk, and amberwood. This is such a truly incredible fragrance that I find to be very wearable and a very easy reach. I think that it would be hard to not love this one. I think it works very nicely for year round wear as well as basically any occasion. It would make such a lovely signature fragrance. It really feels timeless! I also think that this one is a pretty safe blind buy. I’m so very happy to have this as part of my collection as it is one of my top favorite fragrances! It will always have a very special place in my collection! I get excellent performance with The Wedding Silk Santal, just like I do with all of my other Kayali fragrances (they’re my favorite brand!). The longevity is really impressive... it lasts the entire day and I can still smell it the next morning. The projection is very nice too, it radiates out at least a few feet from me. I only need a few spritzes to get this effect, so I do consider it to be a good value. I’m a huge fan of Kayali fragrances, and currently have 19 different ones in my collection! My top 5 are Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, The Wedding Silk Santal, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, and Yum Pistachio Gelato! I also really enjoy Maui in a Bottle and Maldives in a Bottle, especially during the summer! For reference, some of my other favorite fragrances include GdT Celeste, Bianco Latte, Kilian LDBS, Princess, Sunkissed Goddess, PdM Oriana, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Black Opium Glitter, Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, D&G The One Desire, JPG Classique Pin Up, Guerlain Mon Guerlain, Rosie Jane Dulce, Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Salt, Queen’s Caramel, Marshmallows, Phlur Heavy Cream, Vanilla Nectar, Beach Skin, Cashmere Skin, SDJ Summer è Amor, 62, 39, VS Vanilla Lace, Glitter Hustle, BBW Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Whipped Honey & Vanilla, Fireside Flurries, Cashmere Glow

I originally traded someone for a mini bottle of this after its original limited edition launch, and immediately fell in love with it. It was impossible to get for a while, so soon as it was released again this fall I ordered the largest bottle, as well as another mini for my purse. It’s absolutely full bottle worthy for me, and one of my favorite fragrances in my collection! I am a huge fan of Kayali fragrances in general, and currently own 17 of them. This is in my top 5 of them along with Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, and Yum Pistachio Gelato. I do think that this is very similar to Donna Karen Cashmere & Palo Santo. I definitely enjoy both fragrances, but I do prefer The Wedding Silk Santal over Cashmere & Palo Santo. Cashmere & Palo Santo is a warmer, woodier, and deeper scent that’s closer to the depth of Vanilla 28 than TWSS. It’s a sweet, sticky, woody, warm, dry, smoky vanilla scent with a golden peach note. TWSS would be its flirty and playful little sister. For further reference, some of my other favorites (besides these 5 from Kayali) include PDM Oriana, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, Kilian LDBS, Gold Sugar, Pink Sugar, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Phlur Heavy Cream, SDJ Summer é Amor, SDJ 39, SDJ 62, VS Vanilla Lace (OG) This is such a versatile fragrance, and a very easy reach. It feels very feminine, and like it would easily suit women of any age. It’s one of those fragrances that really does work well throughout all of the seasons. It’s also fitting for any occasion from casual to fancy, and including work and/or school. I get excellent performance with The Wedding Silk Santal. The longevity is impressive, it lasts throughout the whole day on me. The projection is very good too, it radiates out at least a few feet from me.

Definitely agree with the reviewer who said that this is what you want to get if Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar is a little too much for you. I actually like VCRS, but it’s not an every day scent for me. Like today, it was nearly 100 degrees where I live with 70% humidity and I just feel like it’s a little overwhelming for that kind of climate. Wedding Silk is perfect though, the heat actually brings out the beautiful sugary nectarine and sandalwood, mixed with the black currant, the florals, and the vanilla — oh my goodness, it’s just lovely. It truly has the best of everything. Sweet but not suffocatingly so, floral but not too floral, not too heavy on the sandalwood but it’s still present, and the vanilla blends beautifully with the black currant and nectarine. It’s honestly the perfect combo of fruits and florals with a very balanced but robust base. I like that the sugary sweetness is still present, but not to the point that it’s dominating the scent. It’s just sweet enough if that makes sense. For reference, I love black currant and vanilla when they’re paired together, I find them to be so comforting, but the nectarine and champagne manage to make this scent airy enough that it’s still bright and bubbly. The sandalwood here isn’t front and center, but it definitely grounds this perfume and takes it out of the gourmand category. So do the florals in the background. I’m actually not a huge fan of champagne notes, they tend to go sour on me, but it’s blended really well here. Think sweet, bubbly, fruity effervescence and not an alcoholic smell. The sillage isn’t enormous but it has good longevity and people around you will smell it. Overall, I find this very versatile and elegant.

Why the heck have I been sleeping on Kayali for so long!? I knew if I tried any fragrance from their house then it would be this one because I love a good gourmand that has a nice sandalwood or woody base in general but sandalwood, amber wood, and Oud are some major loves. So the name itself drew me in and the bottle is pretty so finally after ignoring the hype train I finally blind purchased it.. talk about love and obsession at first sniff. Like WHAT! What is Mona doing in that dang lab because this fragrance is effortlessly everything. Like it’s so beautiful while being fresh and being sweet and it’s just.. all the things while being something that can be worn anytime anywhere. I’m so genuinely shocked. I didn’t expect Kayali to be such fantastic quality and the scent is new. I just got it in the mail so I can only imagine in a few months how in love I’m going to be. The lush nectarine plays so well with the little sparkling burst of champagne and freesia then you get this sweet praline with soft sweet musk and that sandalwood. It’s divine. I’m pretty sure angels wear this while on duty. Like my my my I don’t care how Vanilla 28 smells you can’t tell me that this fragrance isn’t the house’s best. I don’t even need to smell the rest because you can’t beat perfection and how instantly I fell in love with every single aspect from beginning to deep dry down.. yea this baby is the best of the best. I always said dama Bianca was my sensual feminine angel scent and it still is but if I’m being honest.. I think this might be better than dama Bianca from xerjoff or at the very least it’s on the same level. It’s SOOOO nosegasmic.

Kayali's Wedding Silk Santal (WSS) s definitely on of my most used fragrances in my collection I love wearing this on it's own but especially using it to put the cherry on top for my layering combos! I saw a beautiful lady on tiktok (I believe it was @funmimonet) describe it as a "lean in, get closer" kind of fragrance and I feel that sums it up perfectly!!! It starts of to me very woodsy which threw me off when I first smelt it because I'm not the biggest fan of woody scents. but it dries down to this beautifully done sweet, rich, fluffy, slightly woody vanilla. I've seen ppl describe it as a more fluffy Vanilla 28, and that I agree!! It's such a classy scent that works for all seasons and events, I can definitely see this fragrance taking you from day to night. WSS is not a beast mode fragrance like for instance Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar from the same brand, it stays close to you and subtly lingers in the air. You can still smell it faintly in your clothes at the end of the day, it just the perfect amount of performance you'd want for a scent like this. If you love woody, sweet, vanilla fragrances, do yourself a favor and get your nose on this!! WSS is excellently done and I feel like it meets the hype (especially the dry down😩)
