Description
The freshness of deep-down things, of noble trees with ancient roots….Grounded and serene, SANTAL DES INDES is a poetic gesture of gratitude for the gifts of the earth. The woody musky Vetiver from the dark, rich soil mingles with fallen leaves, crushed underfoot. A brisk whiff of fresh incense combines with a whisper of Curry Leaves that lend SANTAL DES INDES an animalic purr. Majestic Chinese Cedarwood adds a powerful, quiet strength to the composition.
Santal des Indes by Amouroud is a fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Santal des Indes was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Irina Burlakova. Top notes are absinthe and incense; middle notes are curry tree, narcissus, turkish rose and chinese cedar; base notes are sandalwood, leather, musk and vetiver.

Stunning. Absolutely stunning. As much as I adore Lubin Idole this stuff might just be even better. A boozy, incense and slightly leathered, sweet smell with a hint of creamy sandalwood smoothness in a long and drawn out drydown. Like some stumptuious cocktail expertly crafted by a fine mixologist to have the perfect balance of elements. I love it and I want a bottle. I wasn’t expecting that, but way to hit a home run from the first of this brand I sampled. Also, expensive stuff but actually pretty reasonable considering the quality and volume of perfume you get. It’s a low lying scent but that’s it’s nature, still lasts and projects well.

The brand is American and is a spin-off of the Perfumers Workshop.
This scent reminds me a lot of Idole edt, which is by far the superior fragrance.

The Santa des Indes by The Amouroud Brand
This is a new brand from France, came out early 2016. I just purchased this particular fragrance yesterday. At first, it smells cheap, gives out sort of a woody/ safron vibe but as it starts to dry, the real fragrance emerges. It will be perfect for a late night movie or an evening date. For now i rate it 3.8/5.0.

I feel like I’ve smelled this before too, and I like it so much I’m guessing I must have bought it so I’ll be double checking my collection to see if I find a similar one. Not my favorite from the line but pretty close. I just wish the bottles were somehow different from each other to add “flavor” visually to one’s collection, in case one buys more than one.
Eh… yes, bottle design matters to me (while I’m on the subject, Mugler should have let the professionals design the A*Men bottles, they are aweful, don’t do justice to the juice inside).

I feel like I’ve smelled this before but can’t pinpoint (definitely not Bentley Intense, which is supposedly similar to Lubin Idole to this). Initially, it’s not as “butch” as The Candy Perfume Boy promised, instead we have a soft fougere-like woody fragrance with something sweet, warm, & herbal-spicy (absinthe + curry?); as it dries down, the woody aspect intensifies and becomes more masculine & leathery, gaining resemblance to something else I cannot name…(maybe Memo Shams Oud or the opening of S&B Blacks Club Leather)
