The review
On paper, Liberated is a strong bet if you want Santal 33 for less.
AromaPassions 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 12th cheapest of 31 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength AromaPassions 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, iris and violet, turns to ambrox and papyrus, and settles into sandalwood, cedar and leather. That is the brief Liberated is working from.
Top
- cardamom
- iris
- violet
Heart
- ambrox
- papyrus
Base
- sandalwood
- cedar
- leather
For the modern nomad. Dry cardamom and iris give way to creamy sandalwood and leather — the cult signature of a generation.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 42 twins of Le Labo Santal 33 we can price, Liberated is number 12 on price per 100ml.
