The review

PERFUME OIL #05 scores 7.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Santal 33.

The Dupe Spot 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.

Strength: perfume oil, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $26 it costs 90% less than Santal 33.

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 The Dupe Spot 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

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. The Dupe Spot set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

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.
