The review
On paper, Santal Silk is a strong bet if you want Original Santal for less.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Original Santal's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $117 per 100ml it costs 84% less than Original Santal — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on cardamom, coriander and pink pepper, turns to cinnamon, nutmeg and orange, and settles into sandalwood, Tonka Bean and vanilla. That is the brief Santal Silk is working from.
Top
- cardamom
- coriander
- pink pepper
Heart
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
- orange
Base
- sandalwood
- Tonka Bean
- vanilla
Creamy sandalwood wrapped in cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla for cozy comfort.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 3 twins of Creed Original Santal we can price, Santal Silk is number 2 on price per 100ml.
- 01 Zoha Aroma Original Santal $108/100ml
