Santal 33 (EDP)

"Santal 33 is a unisex woody fragrance by Le Labo released in 2011 and composed by Frank Voelkl. It is built around Australian sandalwood, papyrus, cedar, leather, and soft floral facets of violet and iris, creating a dry, smoky-smooth and slightly creamy signature. The scent became one of the defining niche perfumes of the 2010s, often associated with an urban, minimalist, fashion-forward identity. Its character is widely described as woody, leathery, and warm spicy, with an ambrox-musky backbone that gives it a modern diffusion. Although celebrated as iconic, it is also polarizing, with some wearers detecting sour, dill-like, or pickle-like nuances in the sandalwood construction. Santal 33 remains one of Le Labo's best-known perfumes and a landmark in mainstreaming niche perfumery aesthetics."
