Guerlain Santal Royal (Eau de Parfum) | 2ml Sample

Peach and cinnamon warm a base of sandalwood and oud.

Neroli and jasmine open cool and bright before peach, rose and cinnamon build into a spiced, fruity heart. Sandalwood, leather, amber, oud and musk settle it into a dense oriental base where cinnamon ends up dominating more than the sandalwood the name promises.

Perfumed by: Thierry Wasser

KSI Take: The sandalwood here reads entirely synthetic rather than the real Mysore material Guerlain's name implies, and more than one reviewer has called it pointless once the cinnamon takes over the base. Performance is genuinely strong, with good projection and a wear time that runs into the next day, which makes it worth trying if you like dense oriental fragrances but skip it if you want an honest sandalwood.
