  It took me a couple of days to catch its true essence. At first, the scent reminded me of a clothing store, something familiar that I didn’t like, although I think it’s the Daim, but I’m not sure. Over time, I let go of that association and started to enjoy it. I compare it to music: all the notes are on the same scale, forming a beautiful chord. Nothing is out of tune or shouting; the sandalwood, more stereophonic, blends with a soft incense and the Daim base gives it consistency. It’s clean, dry, and soft, accompanying you all day in small bursts with your gestures. I wear it with a suit to work, but it also works great in informal situations. It’s versatile and top-quality.

  It took me a few days to truly appreciate it. At first, the aroma brought to mind a clothing store, something familiar that I didn’t like, although I think it’s the Daim, I can’t be sure. Over time, I let go of that association and started to enjoy it. Explaining it musically, all the notes form part of the same scale, a very nice chord. Nothing is out of tune or strident; the sandalwood, more stereophonic, links with a light incense and the Daim base gives it consistency. It’s clean, dry, and soft, accompanying you all day in unexpected bursts with your gestures. I wear it with a suit to work, but I have no hesitation using it in informal situations. It’s very versatile and of excellent quality.

  I was about to buy a full bottle at a good price, considering the ‘hype’ and reviews, and since it’s a sandalwood-based perfume (my favourite note forever), but I knew better and got a 5ml decant first, which I received recently. I’m glad I didn’t spend more than 200 euros. 90% of the composition is Australian sandalwood (I’d understand the price if it were Mysore) and the rest of the notes are barely noticeable in the first few minutes, fading quickly with a subtle touch of incense – suede, possibly due to the Daim giving a fabric feel, which might be the idea, assuming ’24 rue de l’Université’ is where the Maison Saint Laurent is in Paris. The rest is a linear sandalwood, nothing intrusive. Perfect for any time of day, not challenging or annoying to people. It doesn’t stand out for special occasions either. It’s sandalwood that smells good, but with a very light trail, almost clinging to the skin all the time. I justify the price because it’s a luxury brand like YSL (no one will know you’re wearing Saint Laurent if there’s no label). I stick with the sandalwoods from Ensar Oud and Al Shareef Oudh I bought years ago, which age wonderfully, or in terms of sprayable, I’d buy another bottle of ‘La Jeune Nuit’ from Fueguia 1833 much sooner than this.

  Beautiful. My mum wears it and I steal it from her every now and then, haha. In my judgement, it’s a thousand times better than Santal 33. Santal 24 is heading in that direction, but it doesn’t have as much leather/gasoline as that one; the 24 is creamy, with a fabric scent and an incense that blows your mind. For me, this is the best sandalwood perfume. It lasts and projects a lot. I don’t know if it’s been reformulated, but I have a 2024 batch and it’s brilliant. 100% recommended. I hope they don’t make a song for it like they did for Santal 33, that would be a shame to burn such a good perfume. Projection: 10/10, Longevity: 10/10.

  It’s a scent that some might find ‘simple’ and ‘linear’, but in my opinion, it’s excellent. A sandalwood that sets itself apart completely from the others, not by shouting, but in a subtle and elegant way, without feeling overly formal. It’s one of my favourite perfumes to date. I consider it versatile, but it leans more towards evening use with warmth, for dates or even for the office.

  I discovered it a few months ago while visiting my aunt and uncle in France in February. The room I stayed in (my cousin’s before he left) smelled of smoky sandalwood bathed in divine suede. When my cousin came round for dinner, I smelled that same sandalwood on him, but deeper and more smoky. As he thought it was funny (or annoying) that I kept smelling it all through dinner, he let me try it on my skin, but unfortunately, the only thing that stands out on me is the incense (something that always happens to me with this note). The projection and longevity, however, were excellent. It’s a unisex perfume, leaning towards masculine, beautiful, elegant without being formal, super balanced. Ideal for very cold winters or for evening wear in mild winters or late autumn. It evokes a sober but seductive luxury, rare to find these days; if it were a person, it would be the studious, serious older brother of Santal 33 (the cool and friendly brother) and Santal Blanc from VC&A (the good boy). My wallet appreciates it, but I feel it’s a pity it doesn’t suit my skin. Pleasant: 8/10 Interesting: 8/10 Versatile: 7/10 Original: 7/10.

  Simple and linear to some, but it’s an excellent sandalwood that stands out from the crowd without making a fuss. It’s subtle and elegant, not overly formal. It’s one of my favourites so far, very versatile, though it suits me better in the evening when it’s warm, for dates or even at the office.
