  I stumbled upon this at a perfumery in Barcelona and was blown away: ‘This smells amazing!’ I was surprised by how fresh and green it is, with a retro vibe that doesn’t feel dated. It’s not particularly sophisticated, but if you love barbershop scents and green notes, you’ll adore it. I’ve already added it to my wishlist, even though the price is a bit steep.

  Santalla is the perfect counterpoint to the brand’s other fragrances, which tend to be dense and dark. This one smells fresh, bright, and effervescent, like a gin tonic without actually being one. It opens with airy ginger, apple, and cardamomo, giving it a real energy boost. The Ambroxan and transparent wood base provide good longevity and a pleasant dry-down that doesn’t sacrifice freshness. I really enjoy it—it’s cheerful, easy to wear, and performs well.

  Santalla is clearly the fresh counterpart to nBitor’s dark fragrances. It reminds me of a gin tonic without actually being one: bright, effervescent, and very energetic thanks to the airy ginger, apple, and cardamomo at the start. It settles on Ambroxan and transparent woods that fix well and leave a pleasant dry-down without losing freshness. I really enjoy it; cheerful, easy to wear, and with good performance. Cheers!

  Ginger with a peppery touch and a floral base that gives it body. It’s like a premium, less medicinal version of Álvarez Gómez. Smells great, though that camphorated ginger finish doesn’t quite convince me.

  It smells of ginger, lemon, and a touch of pepper with a certain floral depth that extends the scent. It’s like a premium, less medicinal version of Álvarez Gómez. It smells great, though I’m not entirely convinced by the camphoraceous finish from the ginger.

  Santalla, formerly known as La Esencia de Santa Eulalia, is a perfume that surprises you by blending freshness with something mysterious. It’s not quite my personal style, but its simplicity gives it a unique charm that works for many people. The moment you apply it, it smells like pure energy: the lemon and bergamota, with that crisp green apple note, cleanse and invigorate, while the ginger adds a spicy kick that awakens the senses immediately. Over time, it evolves into something deeper; cardamom and incense blend with sandalwood and vetiver to create a warm base that contrasts beautifully with its fresh opening. It’s this evolution on the skin that makes it special. Plus, it has a story behind it: it’s dedicated to Santa Eulalia, the patron saint of Barcelona, a brave and devout woman. Her story of faith and martyrdom adds extra meaning, turning her into a tribute to the strength of the spirit. In the end, Santalla is a unique fragrance thanks to those contrasts and its history. Not everyone will love it, but it’s a versatile option for anyone seeking something that evolves with you throughout the day.
