The review
On paper, Santal Royal #485 is a strong bet if you want Santal Royal for less.
The Dupe Spot sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Santal Royal's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: perfume oil, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $36 per 100ml it costs 82% less than Santal Royal — the cheapest of 2 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.

The original opens on saffron, bergamot and violet, turns to rose, jasmine and sandalwood, and settles into sandalwood, amber and leather. That is the brief Santal Royal #485 is working from.
