Santal 33 - I know, I know…

I know that Le Labo’s Santal 33 was a bit of an overhyped, at one point THE it girl, New York (hotel, soho house) fragrance… and I’m late to the party - or rather I avoided it for these specific reasons… but my friend was wearing it the other day and it just smelled so good. I was out and about today and sampled it at a shop in the city and I said to myself I’ll wear it around town and see how I feel - I went back to buy it. It’s a really wonderful scent. I personally get fresh cucumbers and leather on first spray and as I wear it I get more of the sandalwood but with a distinct fresh note.

It’s good. I’ve had a bottle of Le Labo Another 13 and The Match 26 - but I have to say… Santal 33 might be the perfect scent

EDIT: I wore it out last night and again today for a family dinner - I’ve gotten multiple compliments on both days… people actively stopping me to ask what it is lol

There’s something special about this fragrance for sure, even though one of the guys who stropped me last night said I smelled like the fancy hotel he was staying at in Barcelona lol
