What it's built to smell like

Le Labo Santal 33 is cardamom, iris and violet at first, ambrox and papyrus at its heart and sandalwood, cedar and leather at the end. Alexandria Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

For the modern nomad. Dry cardamom and iris give way to creamy sandalwood and leather — the cult signature of a generation.
