Ohhh how does this compare to OG

I actually don’t know! Where I live I have no high end shipping at all. The only department store we have is jcpennies and I don’t even have a Sephora. This would be too expensive to blind buy. This one is stunning, but very subtle. Given these are made with more actual perfume oil, I’m surprised how soft it is. For the price I’d be very disappointed if the OG performed the same way

We’re twins in that respect! I don’t live near any big time boutiques that carry ex nihilo, diptyque, or Guerlain. I only get to smell those by buying decants. Montagne makes a dupe called Milky Santal and Mistify also has a great dupe for a few ex nihilo scents (including Santal Calling) I have their Lust in Paradise dupe and it’s nearly 1:1 to Ex nihilos extrait . Montagne makes great dupes for Le labo as well. You can get decants from Montagne from MontagneDecants or Decantika! You can buy samples from Mistify’s website as well.

I like to get inexpensive perfumes for layering. How is it?

It’s very soft. I sprayed my neck and I can barely smell it. I get a bit of the sandalwood, but when I touch my neck and smell my hands, it’s incredible. I might go spray more and see. I’m really sensitive to fragrance and get headaches easily so I always start slow and never usually do more than 3 sprays. This may require more.

Ex Nihilo Santal Calling
Kicking off August with a couple of upgrades from my tiny decants. Last time I did some Ex Nihilo sampling, @Darkvanille and @borr2112 told me I had to try this one. I'm so glad I did. Thank you -

Santal Calling is a gentle, powdery, slightly sweet and creamy musk and sandalwood scent. The hint of nutmeg is fantastic in this one. Not too strong, not too spicy, but just gives it that little

Oh Santal Calling, How I Love You
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.

Santal ain’t calling me
I’ve been trying to find an alternative to my love of santal blush. I tried a decant of Santal Calling by ex Nikhil today, and while it is delicious, it’s way creamier and milkier than I expected. I

A single spray is all it takes
Despite what many people experience, Santal Calling is one of the most potent fragrances I’ve tried. I’m unsure whether it’s the formula itself or simply my own sensitivity to the blend, but it
