The Scoop
Native Santal captures the citrus brightness and creamy sandalwood DNA of Santal Original fairly well, with a comparable dry-down that emphasizes warm woods over florals. However, the clone lacks some of the refined complexity and subtle spice undertones present in Creed's original, feeling slightly more linear and less nuanced in the heart notes.
Key Differences
The original has superior longevity and projection, with more sophisticated iris and geranium interplay, while Native Santal tends to be softer and more straightforward in its sandalwood-forward presentation. Creed's version also develops subtle spiced notes that the clone doesn't quite replicate.
