heaven.
I'd take a bath in this scent if I could afford it. I hope I'm buried with a bottle when I die.

Details & care
What it is: An homage to the American West. Woody ingredients and ambrox are key to the sensuality of the drydown.
Fragrance story: Imagine sitting in solitude on the rugged, wide plains of the American West, firelight on your face, indigo-blue night skies above. There is nothing around save for the soft, desert wind. You. Are. Free. From this defining vision was born Santal 33, a perfume that touches the vast and wild universality of this dream. It intoxicates, combining a mix of cardamom with notes of iris and violet, which crackle in the formula. Added to this smoking wood alloy (Australian sandalwood, cedarwood) are some spicy, leathery, musky notes, giving this perfume its signature and addictive comforting scent. Santal 33 is an open fire, the soft drift of smoke, where sensuality rises after the light has gone.
Style: Warm and spicy, woody and rustic
Notes: Australian sandalwood, cedarwood, cardamom, iris, violet, spicy and musky notes.

Headache nausea city!
So much hype over this scent and I was certainly eager to get a sample of it. From the description, I was almost positive I would adore it. Nope! This is super sweet and has a strong tinge of pickle juice. It literally started to make me feel nauseous. I can’t imagine smelling this all day on myself or anyone else. Everyone is different, but no no no. I guess what really gets me is the description… ugh. Not even close. It’s sweet peppery pickle juice. And I love me a good pickle, but I don’t splash the juice on my skin.

The scent of the God’s
I’m blessed & lucky to say this is my every day parfum. There is a multitude of reasons why. 1- I love to smell it on myself. You only need one spray. 2- It’s subtle but distinctive and pleasantly lingers. 3- You will randomly get stopped and asked “What are you wearing?” So if you’re a social butterfly like me it’s great conversation.

Soft, Sexy, Stunning!
Santal 33 by Le Labo is a stunner on me. I honestly can't believe there are 33 ingredients in this composition because all I get is sandalwood and iris. I'm by no means complaining. First whiff reveals sandalwood in its purest form. When I spray it on me it is extremely woody, almost sharp. Within seconds the wood softens. This wood is warm and dry and has practically no weight - sort of like fresh sawdust shavings. As it develops on my skin the sandalwood always stays in the forefront, but soon the iris makes her appearance. The iris on me is eloquent, soft as a whisper and very purple. This never becomes a true floral scent on me. It remains woodsy and mysterious and has an unusual good quality paper with a watermark element to it. As the perfume dries down it gets just the slightest bit sweeter, almost like a violet candy. I must spray with a light hand and still it lasts forever on my skin. I get a solid 8-12 hours of enjoyment and it lasts even longer in my hair. This is just gorgeous and I'm so excited to own it!

Addictive leathery smell
Rubbery leather with an industrial feel and dry woods make for a pungent opening. The more time passes, the fragrance relaxes and grows as a smell into a creamy sandalwood with cardamom and papyrus, it sweetens a bit but still maintains the leathery aspect which is now paired with soft buttery iris. Have received lots of compliments!

My New Favorite Fragrance
I buy a lot of fragrances and this is the best by far. I have received so many compliments since purchasing... and it's only been 3 days! I've had complete strangers stop me in the mall, the grocery store, and even the movie theatre to ask me what I was wearing. The fragrance is a little woodsy, a little floral, and very long-lasting. I can still smell it on me the next day. I'm very pleased with my purchase and I think you would be, too.

simply amazing!
Now I understand why scents connoisseur put santal 33 in the top as one of the best scent of all time.

reeks
I got it because I’ve seen so many good reviews. I hate the smell and literally one spray is poignant and strong and gives me a serious headache. It smells like pine or cleaning supplies. I couldn’t wait to wash it off.

Disappointing
How i wanted to like this, since its all over youtube and twitter and reality tv with high remarks. Not a great fragrance for me, like others have said definitely smells of dill and maybe grass and mold. More masculine than unisex imo.

Cedar closet
I got a tiny (smallest I have ever seen, btw) sample vial of this and dabbed it on my (female) self. Such a familiar smell, not unpleasant...but what the heck is that, I wondered. Cedar! It smells like the spray I use to renew the paneling in my cedar closet. Yes, it also has a tinge of dill in there, but the cedar is overwhelming. On a guy in a thick, woolly sweater or a formal business suit (with excellent tailoring, of course), however, this might work. It's a warm, comforting aroma. Will dab it on my husband and see what happens. I give it full points for strength and depth, but it misses on the balance. Too much cedar, I think. More of a cool season fragrance. Too much for summer.

Spellbound
The scent is lovely, each layer with its own special note that has people asking what smells so good! My daughter tells me “momma, you smell special & i could smelll you for hours.”

The Best
I buy a lot of cologne from Armani Code, YSL, Dolce and Gabana, Gucci Guilty, and Giorgio Armani. This is the best I have ever bought. Definitely recommend.
