Santal

note: received this as a christmas gift! i found magnolia from solinotes at a boscov’s and fell in love with it, so i was gifted that along with this!!! this scent is sooo simple yet sooo lovely!! perfect for when i don’t really know what i want to wear and very good quality for the price. it does have a bit of an odd smell before it mellows out completely- i’d almost describe it as cigarette-esque?? however it quickly mellows out and becomes a lovely, warm, spicy sandalwood once it does so. has recently become a go-to scent for the winter time!! i look forward to using magnolia from them during the spring and i’m also looking forward to trying more of their scents in general :)

For Solinotes this is an interesting fragrance. It starts woody with (what it looks to me) Orris root and a subtle iris. It’s like a delicate version of Soeders’ “Grass Roots”. Then it gets smokey, not like incense but more like burnt wood after a bonfire. From then on sillage drops and you are left with a warm, cozy, woody skin scent. Definitely unisex and perfect for fall/winter.

A great yet simple sandalwood scent. Smells great, cheap, decent enough performance.

For the price, I think this is a good buy. It is a very straightforward sandalwood. I wouldn't say it is a dupe for Santal 33. It feels a little flat.

pretty weak, really only use this for layering, but thats kinda what its for lol. the spices in the opening are a little gross tho

For clear reasons I had high hopes for this But it's a skin scent with zero projection and there are better dupes for Santal 33

love the smell of this however it lasts genuinely 30 seconds. only way to get it to linger is throwing it straight onto my hair
