Morning After

I really like this fragrance as an alternative experience to the usual middle eastern/gourmand choices of mine. Yes it's nothing new, yes it's copying some of the more innovative creations like Santal 33, but for less than half the price, it's surprisingly long lasting and with enough subtle differences, I think it's well worth the purchase. After a strong first spray of earth meets woods meets spice, Morning After leaves a beautiful intoxicating citrus tail on my skin, and lasts remarkably long on fabric.

This is a very approachable and smooth sandalwood scent. It’s quite soft and fluffy, with some powderiness from the violet and paperiness from the papyrus. Fairly linear and good projection. Not screechy at all. Nice for cold days.

Genuinely one of the best perfumes I’ve ever smelt, it’s the most beautiful sandalwood perfume of them all in my opinion, it has a lot more going on for it than santal 33 which I found quite boring compared to this.

Lovely well balanced gentle fragrance. I got some recently and go to it almost every day. I highly recommend it.

First of all, what a genius marketing strategy to sell your discovery set at such a low price with redeemability on full size, Bravo. The struggle I have with WIE (and many, many more) is that amber on me is a people repellent, including myself, so going through the discovery set, the majority I had to place in a steel case in the bunker in case they leaked, but Morning After is a keeper. Thankfully, the leather and sandalwood screams through this on me and I couldn't be happier. Is it Santal 33-ish? absolutely and I'm not sad about that. The question you have to ask yourself is if you want to support a corporate giant like Le Labo's mum, Estee Lauder, or a small independent on the rise. I know where my money is going. Comparison on notes is almost identical, the price point couldn't be further apart. I can't decide whether its a good or a bad thing that I don't get the pickle note everyone's talking about because I love me a good pickle. In my area at least, when you look for stockists, it's a long list of Priceline stores and that should tell you that this is a great mid-point house for people delving in to the world of scent. I'd drop some coin on the full size of this, but not before I get Ocean Eyes.
