The review

On paper, Santalum is a reasonable bet if you want Santalum for less.

Oil Perfumery sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Santalum's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $125 per 100ml it costs 71% less than Santalum — the cheapest of 1 twins we can price.

Value7.9
Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oil Perfumery 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 bergamot and orange, turns to sandalwood and cedar, and settles into amber, musk and benzoin. That is the brief Santalum is working from.
