"The sandalwood in the middle note of this very woody fragrance acts as a smooth, warm bridge between the floral top note and the wood-heavy base. The warm sandalwood is a subtle temper to the more distinctive rosewood and cedar, but is a welcome addition, along with white musk, to turn what could be a lot of wood into something more wearable. It's the thinking man's wood fragrance."
"Say what you will about the ubiquity of Santal 33, but it's become one of the most popular and distinctive fragrances of our time. It's instantly recognizable thanks to its smooth, woody, leathery vibe that dries down to reveal more greens and florals without losing the hip, wood-forward aspect that makes it so popular. Think of it as the blue jeans of fragrancea staple that everyone can wear."
"There's a misleading simplicity to this scent that one could argue is the olfactory version of quiet luxury. The pepper in the top note gives it a kick of spice, a double dose of frankincense (olibanum) delivers a luxurious resinous quality, and the smooth base of sandalwood isn't as apparent as some other sandalwood colognes, but still gives it a warm, smooth, woody longevity that sticks around for hours."
Sandalwood functions as a warm, smoothing middle note that bridges floral top notes and wood-heavy bases, tempering sharper woods like rosewood and cedar and working with white musk to enhance wearability. Santal 33 has become highly popular and distinctive, defined by a smooth, woody, leathery character that reveals greens and florals while maintaining a wood-forward identity; it is offered in multiple sizes. An everyday sandalwood cologne can emphasize peppery top notes and frankincense for resinous depth, with a subtle sandalwood base that provides warm, long-lasting woody longevity and a deceptively luxe simplicity.
