Santal Austral Matiere Premiere Eau de Parfum
It starts with a gentle blend of woods, giving off a dry and understated vibe. It’s not the kind of fragrance that demands attention unless you apply too much. Considering the listed notes, I was surprised by the presence of iris and tonka bean, but they complement the sandalwood quite nicely. The overall effect is soft, aromatic, and woody, with a slight masculine touch. Rather than powdery, it comes across as dry, dusty, and yes, a bit creamy.
Bois Impérial Essential Parfums
This fragrance is fresh and woody, enjoyable but not sure if it’s the best from Essential Parfums. It’s very green and lasts a long time. It’s good for the gym, just don’t spray too much.
I’m usually not into vetiver-heavy scents, but this one is blended well, so I like it. It’s green and woody, with a bit of a soapy and metallic smell. Kind of like a classic barbershop scent. It is the perfect unisex fragrance that you can find these days.
The dry down is my favorite part, creamy with Ambroxan. It adds a nice touch to the overall scent.
