INTENSITY

Try on skin; projection has not been tested by QWD

Someone drawn to warm woods who wants to compare a sandalwood-led fragrance with the smokier options in this edit.

THE EDITOR’S VERDICT

The emphasis on creamy sandalwood, with cedar and cypress alongside it, gives you a specific woody profile to test instead of choosing by bottle design alone.

WHY I WOULD PASS

This is the 75mL Eau de Parfum, not the Eau de Toilette. The concentration and scent balance differ; sample this exact version before buying.

WHAT QWD CAN SUPPORT
