This fragrance is an enigma. It simply doesn't conform to any of the laws of perfumery. A strong concentration of amber notes, with animal intonations of civet and castoreum, it remains a perfume that's discrete on your skin even though everything's combined to make it a powerbomb. Listen to it whisper to your nose and to the senses of those allowed to get close to your skin. Once you start, you won't be able to stop listening.
Le Labo hand-blends every fragrance to order in its boutiques, stamps the date and the customer's name on the label and sends them home with something genuinely personal. Santal 33 has become one of the most culturally omnipresent fragrances of the past decade; the broader collection, from Rose 31 to Bergamote 22, rewards those who explore it.
