Simply the softest, silkiest, creamiest sandalwood I've ever experienced - powdered with lilac florals, enlivened with radiant musks, and laced with a delicately sweet, nutmeg-infused vanilla.

Perhaps more feminine-leaning than the scents I'd usually choose, but I have no problem with this - it smells truly stunning and bliss-inducing every time I wear it. She's a top 5 of all time for me.

It's also one of the strongest performing perfumes I've ever tried. Most reviews don't seem to agree, but the potency of Santal Calling catalyses with my skin in a rather spectacular way - easily detectable all day, lasting over 24 hours on skin.

    Well this sounds right up my street!

      It's so beautiful. In fact, I want a little spray right now 😆 A little spray is very possible too - The Ex Nihilo atomisers are pressurised and work like a charm for ¼ ½ full sprays

      Ooh even better. Definitely need to get a sample of this!

      Do you happen to know how it compares to other dreamy santals? Vc&A Santal Blanc, TF Santal Blush or Kayali Wedding Silk Santal, for instance
