Santal du Pacifique

So coming from country like India we were quite used to smell of sandalwood or Chandan as it’s called in Hindi , I must say I absolutely love smell of sandalwood and even after smelling ton of sandalwood fragrance and oil you can wake we up in middle of night to smell a sandalwood fragrance so when I got to know that Perris monte Carlo house has a sandalwood fragrance I was stoked to get my hands and nose on to it , Santal du Pacifique Perris Monte Carlo (EDP) is not your standard Mysore sandalwood however as the name suggest it is Australian sandalwood which in recent years due to limitation of Mysore sandalwood has gained lot of momentum in perfume industry , Australian sandalwood is little less sweet and creamy then Mysore and more powdery, I must say it smells like poor man sandalwood when compared to Mysore sandalwood however still good alternative and its far better than synthetic sandalwood (Isononyl cyclohexanol) which is used is most perfume now a days . As the perfume develops along with sandalwood I smell bit of carrot and orchid note , this is mostly a linear fragrance with longevity close to 8 hours on skin and more than 10 hours on clothes , I gives good silage and overall good option for sandalwood fragrance specially if you can get it for discounted price which I got , I would love to try extrait version of this perfume however it is very hard to get hold of sadly , I will recommend you to give this perfume try specially if you love sandalwood ! (7.5/10)

Alot of Sandalwood. Like it very much, it gives me an almond vibe also, + with the slightly stingy carrots and I guess Gurjan Balsam? not familiar with that one. Don ́t get much of the flowers tho. As a fan of pure soft sandalwood i might order a full bottle of this. <3 .This is for me a nice comforting skinscent one, with a hint of a gourmand one, makes u wanna sniff it over and over . Also curious about the more concentrated one, but its pricey Smell 8/10 Longevity 6/10 Sillage 6/10 Versatility 7,5/10 Uniqueness: 8/10 Value and Quality 7/10 I guess this review can be a bit right: @Calvini 09/06/16 14:33 This is not bad. A dry & simple sandalwood fragrance similar to Le Labo's Santal 33 (without the impact). I encourage you to try the Extrait if you want something a little more special. This is how they get you: 1. Present 2 lines (one being the "luxury" edition, which is what they really want to sell). 2. Purposely holding back on the quality & ingenuity of the cheaper line while giving you a taste of their true intention. 3. Leave you half-way satisfied so you'd justify spending more on the 2nd version.

Love it. Sandalwood is one of my favourite scents, and I love most of the different sandalwoods I have smelled. In particular, I find Mysore sandalwood essential oil to be one most stunning natural fragrances one can ever experience. Santal du Pacifique is quite breakthrough in the context of nowadays’ perfumery: no citrus, no vanilla, no coumarin, no patchouli, no obvious spice, no fruit, no mainstream florals, no oud, no leather, no cloying sweetener, and no amber. And although it smells more like New Caledonian or Australian sandalwood with added chemicals rather than Mysore, I really love these fresher, softer facets too. The first couple of minutes are very unique: floral, cool, a bit chalky, and bitter. Soon after, all these initial vibes fade away and the naturally beautiful, smooth, woody, creamy, and magically musky (a bit resinous and pee-like in a great way) sandalwood reveals itself to become the unmistakable main player for the rest of the olfactory experience. It's soothing, mystical, earthly, warm, and heavenly. Simply amazing.

I recently discovered Santal du Pacifique Eau de Parfum by Perris Monte Carlo and it has quickly become my favorite scent. This fragrance has a unique blend of notes which creates a woody, spicy, and slightly floral scent that is perfect for any occasion. The opening is dominated by juicy pineapple and warm spices, which quickly gives way to a creamy woody heart of cedarwood, sandalwood, and vetiver. The base notes are a hint of amber and musk, which bring out the subtle floral aspects of the scent. Santal du Pacifique is an easy to wear scent that lasts all day without becoming cloying or overwhelming. I love the way it lingers on the skin and smells just as good a few hours after application. The bottle is also beautiful and looks great on a shelf. If you are looking for a sophisticated woody-spicy scent, then Santal du Pacifique by Perris Monte Carlo is definitely worth a try. I highly recommend it for those who are looking for a versatile signature scent.

I really appreciate Perris launches as they are well-thought. Good quality (not synthetic) ingredients and unusual take of usual perfume themes (like Oud - if you don't know it by now and you are a fan of Oud I do recommend Oud Imperial). But to the point. Santal Pacifique is unusual santal perfume. I am a sandalwood fan so I do follow what a niche market got to offer and this is unusally beautiful. Linear, creamy with a hint of pepper and spices. Simply lovely. Not tacky and not an obvious complimenter so I believe it suits someone who either is a perfumista or has strong self assurance and does not need an appreciation via perfume. This is a scent of intimacy. Of a weekend in deshabille (search the word). In the moments where we want and feel like in a homy, sexy mood. Really worth at least a try. Do not believe the pickle note. It's a lie. Unless someone is a material for pickles:-)
