Cereza review below is spot on and absolutely mirrors my own thoughts…before I’ve even expressed them in writing.
You really do have to love papyrus and sadly I don’t, it’s such an odd watery note and often paired with sandalwood which is a bit like watering down milk.
I immediately thought about Le Labo’s santal 33 for this combo but luckily this is slightly more enjoyable in the opening…but less so on the whole.
I think it delivers the pyramid of notes in the exact order stated here. The hint of elemi and ginger (ginger I don’t get a great deal TBH)then the heart comes on quickly with masses of papyrus and a subdued incense.
The sandalwood builds thoughout and makes for a pleasant drydown but the papyrus is pretty relentless and just not to my taste at all.
It’s a shame because I like sandalwood a lot it’s just that it can vary massively and I’d rather it be surrounded by sweet & warm notes.
Oh I get the yoga, east meets west link here…however tenuous.

There are indeed many kinds of sandalwood, I’m a big fan of the creamy, mild sandalwood especially when it’s paired with spices.
Well, “Santal Sacre” is nothing like that. First, I have to say that you got to love papyrus to enjoy this, I was instantly hi in the face with loads of ginger and papyrus, the scent itself is very weird, bitter and almost a bit herbal. The drydown finally brings sandalwood, which here is dry, rough and a bit harsh.
I do think “Santal Sacre” will compliment male skin better.
Silage and Longevity were both slightly disappointing.
