What wearers say
“Wow this is so good! I haven't smelled the original, but this one I think is not that similar to Santal 33 as everyone says about that one. At first I thought I'll give it to my husband as it smelled very masculine but the dry down on skin is mostly cardamom with woody undertones. It's unisex, great for autumn and winter but also sexy and warm for night time all year round. I wish the jasmine was more detectable to make it a bit more feminine and soft! Maybe I'll find something for layering...”
“This is such a cool girl coded fragrance. Truly unisex, would smell incredible on men as well.I have this and Dossiers Woody Sandalwood (sorry, I will never pay for a Le Labo fragrance..), and I was trying to see if I needed both. And as much as their openings are similar, they ARE different. I actually lean towards the Zara version because it’s got a little bit of a brighter, almost floral/sweet dry down. It’s very minor difference but I can definitely tell side by side. It’s just a bit smoother.Absolutely nuclear fragrance. Worth having in your collection if you are a Santal lover.”
“I do like this one, but to me it doesn’t feel very different from the original Energetically New York, just a bit more intense. I was hoping for something closer to Santal 33 in terms of woody notes and expected more character in the sillage and projection, but it ends up smelling almost the same. Maybe it’s just my skin chemistry, but I mostly get a fresh scent with some citrusy notes.”
