Strong contender. That is where Simply Santal lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Santal 33.
ALT Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Santal 33's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $69 per 100ml it costs 86% less than Santal 33 — the 11th cheapest of 31 twins we can price.
