Description
“There are many examples of perfumes that are neither distinctly male nor female however, this characteristic certainly does not reduce its charm.
Often they possess that “special’ something; mysterious and intriguing that makes them particularly attractive.
This is undoubtedly the case of Oud Santal, a fascinating, spicy-woody fragrance reminiscent of the East the warm and enveloping Souk atmosphere and the starry skies of an Atlas.
A jus designed around two kings: Mysore sandalwood with its warm, sensual, balsamic aromas and precious Burmese Agar Oil, with its complex, woody-honeyed shades and antique leather notes.
A sexy, scented dream. A hypnotic, overwhelming aim embedded in a precious crystal bottle handmade by our Florentine master glassmakers” — press release of the brand. Oud Santal was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Antonio Visconti.

An interesting Woody Oriental composition with high quality ingredients, unfortunately this perfume has several much less expensive counterparts that make its purchase at the very premium sales price very questionable. The perfume begins with a strong lovely sandalwood accentuated by notes of sage, cumin and styrax. The floral heart is brief and has notes of jasmine and iris. The perfume quickly settles into a powdery musky base of vanilla, oud, slight gurjun balsam, synthetic musk and ebony wood. This is a unisex perfume with strong sillage and projection and very good longevity. However, it is not particularly unique, although it showcases the central sandalwood note well. Don’t go in expecting a lot of Oud. Enjoy!

Oud santal reminds me allot of “Cuir Garamante” by MDCI but with less saffron, more incense, nutmeg, and balsamic notes. It has a shape yet soft saffron. something spicy like rosemary, sour woods, and maybe sage but not sure!
It is not that oudi and not that animalic yet it’s dark! with sour woody notes.
This is a dark perfume and kind of captivating since the saffron is quite sharp but in here Antonio presented it kind of soft combined with slightly sweet notes that creates a milky blend! 15 minutes so far with no iris, and no cumin.
Edit (9th April 2017) I believe the sage is adding that moldy and kind of nasty texture to the blend on the first 4 minutes, and i believe it does push the brightness of the ebony somehow and makes it smell quite sour and slightly animalic with the help of jasmines. It is a weird combination to be honest as it remains not really animalic but kind of filthy somehow and moldy with a slightly shining sweetness! I believe i made a mistake comparing this fragrance to “Cuir Garamante” by MDCI.
