    Swirling a glass of vendanges tardives pinot gris next to a big tin of oxidised black tea leaves…

    A citrus masculine fresh scent. I don’t smell tobacco or honey at all.
    It is a perfect scent for a flaboyant man who lives nearby the seaside.
    Seaside? Yes; some citrus scents reminds me of the fingerfrsheners you’ll get at a fishrestaurant on the seaside:-)

    This remind me of 2 perfumes mix together, Declaration de Cartier and Air du Desert Marocain, if you like those 2 it’s definitively a must try.

    A treat if, like me, you love lemon! On me, lemon is present, not only in the opening but part of this splendid dry down, alongside a beautiful sandalwood and a delicate smell of caraway in the background creating the basis for the theme of this medicinal/herbal fragrance. Myrrh, extremely soft here, seems to give a vanilla-like feel but in a more resinous kind of sweetness. The floral aspect is on & off in the opening and tea is quite hard to find unless that herbal, once again medicinal, aroma. Sandalo e The opens with a delicate « dryness » and will evolve into a beautiful and creamy lemony sandalwood.
    It’s an interpretation of sandalwood brightened with a soft and persistent citrus note instead of leaving it front & center with it’s usual woody-milky scent. It is really nice to wear, present for long hours but, like others have said, close to skin and sillage is delicate. But the smell is rich, thick and bright at the same time and subtle sweetness will gently appear through the dry down. A very nice balance between dryness & creaminess.
    In a few words: creamy lemon, sandalwood & caraway.
    Warm & comforting for cooler days.

    the opening starts off with the cumin caraway stinkiness but then 15mins drys down to a soft sandalwood smell which lasts an hour then becomes skin scent which stays all day.

    I like the fruity smell of this one, but the Caraway gives it a cumin like smell that is a little off-putting.
    My Score: 6.5

    Expensive famous brand, but where is nothing special going on with this one, niches can be very disappointing.

    Taste is a funny thing. On the one hand, we derive comfort from the familiar, so it’s nice to immediately recognize a genre. We feel that we have a sense of control over the situation. “This is a woody oriental perfume.”
    If a perfumer pushes too far to the outer reaches of our categories, then we may feel confused and disconcerted. At the same time, we may criticize other perfumes for being so similar–too similar–to so many other creations.
    It must be difficult being a perfumer attempting to reconcile all of these contradictions because no matter what one creates, even with the finest of ingredients, one faction of wearers will charge that it is familiar to the point of banality, while another may claim that it strays too far from already established icons.
    Should perfumers today be creating sandalwood-vanilla compositions, given the predominance of that genre among celebrity and mainstream designer fragrances?
    What I have learned from Bois 1920 Sandalo e The is that I don’t really like this particular genre all that much, because I have criticized it aplenty in reviews of mainstream and celebrity fragrances, yet in this niche rendition I find myself somewhat bored, though I am confident that the materials used were top notch, given the reputation of this house and my experience with some of their other perfumes.
    Looking at the “official” notes, I recognize that I am obviously missing something here. To me, Sandalo e The smells very similar to many mainstream designer sandalwood vanilla scents, only with a marked cinnamon component–something like cinnamon-dusted sandalwood with a light sprinkling of vanilla sugar is what I smell. The sandalwood note is quite strong, and there is some source of sweetness here, just as in the mainstream analogues, although vanilla is not listed among the notes. Nor is cinnamon!
    Others report that this is a tea scent. That I do not get at all. Unless they mean Good Earth cinnamon tea? Perhaps that is what they mean. In any case, this composition has convinced me that I simply am not that keen on strong sandalwood scents, even when they don’t turn sour (as many mainstream versions do), and even when they are not cloyingly sweet, as this one is definitely not.
    Wearing Bois 1920 Sandalo et The has been a learning experience for me. I have discovered that my harsh rebuke of sandalwood vanilla frags has often been misguided. My real problem with this type of composition comes down to a matter of personal taste.

    I also smelled black tea with lots of lemon and honey. Sharp lemon at the beginning, which later turned into aromatic sweet tea. Cold tea, by the way! Thus perfect for summer and early autumn. It exactly reminds me of windy September day, when you already have to wear something long-sleeved and last traces of hot sunny summer are reflecting in your cup of honey-colored drink…
    In the base I also got the tobacco note. Not the sharp one, softened by other scents, but still present. No sandalwood thought! I would rather rename it Sandals and Tea 🙂
    No floral notes developed on my skin though, which i am partly comfortable with, because i dont’t get on well with rose and hyacinth. On the other hand, this might have enriched the complexity of this fragrance, as someone mentioned earlier. Personally, i missed the evolution of this perfume, it seemed pretty uncomplicated with fading of citruses and emerging of tobacco being the only things that changed as time elapsed.
    To sum up, I liked this fragrance a lot. For me it’s not a masterpiece, not the one to die for, but very pleasant and comforting. It brighten up my day by bringing some warm summer memories. Sillage was very moderate, but longevity very good: 5-6 hrs for EDT

    Sandalo e The smells exactly like the lemon tea my mother used to make me whenever I was down with a cold. She used to pour a lot of lemon juice in it and leave the lemon peel in the tea. So when I smelled the warm vapors, there was this sweet honey – bitter lemon – herbal tea accord that’s strikingly similar to what I smell in this perfume.
    Sandalo e The is a beautiful, refreshing fragrance, with an amazing lemon note going on. It would be fantastic in summer days.

    Sandalo e The opens with a sweet-citrusy-the accord that is not so impressive. The Sandalwood note is very efemeral and shows up after half an hour or so. In the drydown the whole scent gets woody and somehow sweeter. Overall ithis is an ok perfume but after the good suprise I had with Bois 1920 Extreme this one is a bit disappointing. Nothing special and quite expensive.
    Rating: 5.5-6/10

    A warm blast of dry tobacco mixed with myrh is immediately apparent, followed by the dark notes of tea & sticky patchouli. This lightened upside down on my skin, strangely, to the citrus notes and something faintly medicinal – probably the rosemary and lavender. The caraway is present throughout, but in the background (thankfully, as I’m not a huge fan) rather than shouting out its presence. The hyacinth, rose and jasmine didn’t fully emerge for me, which is a shame as I would have liked a little more of the florals to balance the mix.
    An extremely interesting and quite complex fragrance – far more difficult to pinpoint than one may imagine by reading the notes. A must-try for tobacco note fans who aren’t fond of fragrances that temper this with fruit or vanilla.
    At first I thought the longevity would be excellent, as the first couple of hours sillage was almost overwhelming (I overdid the sprays, obviously!), but this seemed to fade quite suddenly. Or perhaps I got used to it. I can never be quite sure. Perhaps you should ask a passing stranger (tall, dark & handsome, of course) to sniff your neck and see?
    Wearing Sandalo e The is like sitting on the porch of a tea shop located somewhere vaguely exotic, overlooking a herb garden at twilight and opening a fresh packet of tobacco, breathing in the delicious mixture of aromas and sighing with pleasure.
