Description
Opening — Woody, Green, Spiced
The opening is clean, woody, and aromatic, led by sandalwood and clary sage.
Sandalwood – Dry, smooth, and woody right from the first spray. It strongly recalls the style of Santal 33, sitting firmly in that modern, dry-wood family.
Clary Sage – Green, herbal, and slightly sharp, giving the scent a fresh, clean backbone.
Ginger – Bright and lively, adding a fizzy freshness with soft spice.
Oud – Subtle but present, bringing dark earthiness with a warm, almost dried-tobacco sweetness in the background.
The opening feels sophisticated, natural, and modern, with woods and greenery in perfect balance.
Dry Down — Smooth Woods & Soft Green Smoke
As it dries down, the fragrance becomes calmer, smoother, and more grounded.
Sandalwood – Remains the star, keeping that dry, Santal-style woodiness throughout.
Vetiver – Adds green, grassy, and lightly smoky woods, deepening the base.
Oud – Much softer now, offering faint earthy shadows without sweetness.
Clary Sage – Still present, giving a gentle herbal freshness.
The dry down is comforting, clean, and masculine, with a smooth woody trail.
