Is Santal Pao Rosa more of a rose or a sandalwood fragrance?+−
It is firmly a woody fragrance. While rose is present, it serves to complement the sandalwood, oud, and myrrh rather than taking center stage. The scent is defined by its smoky, spicy, and resinous wood notes.
How does this perform throughout the day?+−
Most users find it has good longevity, often lasting five to eight hours on the skin. While the initial projection is noticeable, it settles into a more intimate, elegant dry-down that stays closer to the wearer as the day progresses.
Is this scent suitable for a professional office environment?+−
Because of its smoky and astringent opening, it may be polarizing in a traditional office. It is better suited for leisure, evening wear, or creative environments where a more unique, atmospheric scent is appreciated.
Does the fig and hazelnut make it a gourmand scent?+−
No, the fig and hazelnut are used to add texture and a hint of earthy sweetness to the woods. They do not make the fragrance smell like food; instead, they ground the spicy cardamom and smoky myrrh.
