Santalum

سانتاليوم – بروفومم روما "الصندل المستحيل " اللبان المر – صندل هاواي – القرفة – مكون صناعي ( ايزو سوبر) يرتكز عطر صندل روما على زيت الصندل من هاواي التي تعرف بشجرة الإيلياهي وهو ذو رائحة كريمية لطيفة وان كنت لاحظت فيه أيضا بعض الخصائص العمبرية الدافئة الجميلة ، صندل هاواي يختلف كليا عن الميسوري النادر وصندل الغرب الاسترالي (الأكثر إنتاجا) . بالإضافة الى اللبان المر بطابعه البخوري الراتنجي الجميل المهديء للنفس ، تم توظيفه بشكل جيد في العطر واضاف اليه العمق المطلوب توفره في هكذا عطور نيشية ، بالاضافة الى لمسة تابلية خفيفة لوجود القرفة ليست برائحتها المألوفة ولكنها منصهرة مع بقية المكونات العطرية. اللمسة الأيزو سوبرية حاضرة ايضا أخفتت العطر قليلا وساهمت بتعزيز طبيعته الخشبية.العطر خطي بإمتياز مع فوحان وثبات جميلين في اول ساعتين يتحول بعدها الى عطر ملامس للبشرة.عطر دافيء جميل ومبهج في نفس الوقت. كما هو معروف عن هذه الدار استخدام أنقى المكونات الطبيعية بنسبة كبيرة في كل زجاجة عطر مما يفسر بطاقة السعر المرتفعة نسبيا ، الحرفية والبراعة حاضرتين وبقوة في تصميم هذه العطور ، هذه الدار صامتة وتعمل بصمت عجيب حسب ظني الشخصي. هذه التجربة الثالثة لي معهم وكلها من اهداء صديق عزيز له مساهمات فاعلة في هذا المضمار "النيشي" ، أسأل الله العلى العظيم ان يوفقه ويحفظه من كل شر. العطر أعاد القليل من بريق الصندل بعد اليأس التام من اكتشافات مذهلة لعطور مبنية على نوتة الصندل، كتقييم شخصي متواضع أعتبره انجاز عطري لفئة عطور الصندل البخورية ، العطر ليس صارخا ابدا ويصلح للإستخدام المكتبي بجدارة. ******************************************************* "هنالك اشخاص نجهلهم تماما .. ولكن ... عندما نلتقي بهم نشعر بشيء يدفعنا الى التقرب منهم .. حتى قبل ان نبادلهم حديثاً " ديستوفيسكي ******************************************************* دمتم طيبين متعطرين تقييم عام : 8/10

For me Sandalwood has three distinct factors that combine in differing amounts to form a trifecta accord. There's a dazzling array of different results which can be achieved and as a result lots of fragrances manifest sandalwood in different ways also depending what surrounds them. This is the closest I've smelled to my default sandalwood, the mental barometer if you will, to which I judge and perceive sandalwood myself. That doesn't mean this is great just that it has a more perfect balance of the three elements which are... creamy,spicy and woody. Sometimes sandalwood can come across weak and transparent but to me Santalum is as clear a representation as you can get. Perfect balance. I do detect the tiniest hint of Myrrh but no cinnamon. It's super minimal composition wise but that doesn't matter as sandalwood has it's own rich complexities... I have to say I really enjoy it. It's not the strongest in the world due to the lack of other notes and spicing usually associated with sandalwood based fragrances. Longevity is okay but doesn't project much above the skin.

This is the third review of a Profumum fragrance I have written in the past couple of days. I'm not going to repeat myself anymore in regards to how great the performance is, the quality etc. From this point on, I'm just going to assume we already know all of these features are off the chart. I will just focus on the fragrance itself from this point on. Sandalwood on top of sandalwood. But the best sandalwood Quality you have ever smelled in your life. For those of you who you are familiar with incense and use them, the quality of incense can make a huge difference when you burn it. Santalum can be compared to the best incense on the market. It's very simple and was designed so on purpose. Besides sandalwood, there is a touch of myrrh and some other warm spices. That's it. Sometimes that's all you want. There's not much else to say. This fragrance is perfect when you are cleansing yourself or starting a reiki treatment, either in person or online. If you are a collector this is a must have. Just like everything else from this brand.

#1614 in my "Tour de Fragrance" Got this as a decant from scentsplit.com for $6.99. It's a spicier and sweeter scent than Profumum Roma's "Olibanum" and I actually like this better though I really love both. I love the strong impression that scents with a handful of strong notes make compared to a scent with dozens. It's a more aggressive and animalic sandalwood scent than some others I love, like Diptyque "Tam Dao" or Maison Encens "Cuir Erendil." I actually prefer a scent like this where Myrrh leads the way as opposed to being buried under the citrus and florals. This is for men, for cool and cold weather. I'd go light with this. Better as a hint of scent than a cloud. It could be too much in tight spaces. Expensive, but you don't need much, so a bottle will last a long time. Good Luck and Good Hunting!

*I removed my first review because it was unfair due to extreme expectation bias, please forgive.* I now appreciate the artistry very much. Profumum Roma Santalum is very powerful blend of woody notes, a beautiful dry myrrh and what seems to be a bit of an incense note. I get no amber or sweetness, thankfully. This is not a softer creamy sandalwood scent, but a meditative, deep, rich, ancient resins, woody scent that leans masculine. Performance is very good on my skin (all day) and still on my shirt the following day. Exceptional quality. Wonderful in cold weather.
