What wearers say
“I agree it's a twist on santal not 1 to 1 dupe this one to me smells smokier or leather dominant, woodsy notes are secondary.If you want a closer dupe to santal, go with Dossier Woody Sandalwood.I appreciate it anyway I have enough santal dupes, at least this one smells darker maybe a hair more musculine which I actually don't mind.”
“I have both this and the Santal33 and honestly its not a 1:1. Its more of an original with a twist. The entrance is a bit stronger than Le Labo, and the dry down is slightly more powdery. The difference is that Le Labo took equal parts of each scent used and Stallion53 is broken down. But other than that I love the scent.”
“G_taveras said it perfectly, this smells like a lot of woods in the opening.Let it rest for 30 minutes and the magic will happen.Also let it macerate for at least 3 months so the smoke accord dissipates.”
