Smells like a piece of old wood and that’s it.

Sandalwood is woody-spicy. Upon spraying, it’s bitter, dry sandalwood with myrrh, followed by a crisp green freshness: think sauna infusion, crushed herbs, and a spring alpine meadow. Then you’re in a closed room where Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Jim Morrison are chatting while smoking hash, which smells sharp and distinct, unlike the good Mithrandir (thanks, friend). It’s like an aromatic rug for solitude and tranquility, sofa-like, somewhat melancholic. It changes depending on the skin; I don’t see daily use unless you have long straight hair, bell-bottom pants, Clarks, and artistic rolling papers. If you drench yourself and head to the airport, beware.
Mithrandir
Impressive and majestic sandalwood that radiates authority. What sets it apart is a green, sour note from a spice I can’t identify. I imagine a high-ranking Roman official, nobility, or clergy from the year 2000 smelling like this. It could be unisex since it’s warm, subtle, lactonic, and animalic (like Diptyque’s Tam Dao), but to me, it smells very masculine. The myrrh and spices create an olfactory trompe-l’œil that made me smile: it smells distant, like hash stones, a scent I thought was buried. Once the myrrh and spices fade, it leaves behind sandalwood similar to Perris Montecarlo but with less volume, power, and longevity.

Woody opening, almost soapy due to the sandalwood. Gradually, the myrrh emerges with a smoky sensation. I barely notice the spices, perhaps a faint hint of cinnamon in the dry down. Little evolution, fairly linear, short-lived, and very skin-scented at first. Oriented toward the masculine side, usable in almost any weather. Personally, I didn’t like it; there are better sandalwoods on the market for less money. The scent doesn’t stand out, it’s not bad, but it goes unnoticed. Performance doesn’t help either.
