![]() Overall, Le Labo really demonstrated a masterclass with Santal 33 in creating the perfect unisex fragrance. However, it’s still a great choice if you want a sensual, leathery, and in general different woody fragrance. On the other hand, if you’re a guy seeking masculine woody scents, then Santal 33 might not be the best choice as it will definitely lack that masculinity. We’ll admit, it’s not often that we see woody scents in women’s perfumery, but if you’re a woman, rest assured that Santal 33 will not be too masculine for you. No one can say that you’re wearing perfume for men or for women! Le Labo declares Santal 33 to be unisex, and after multiple reviews from multiple members of our team, we can definitely confirm that the scent is completely unisex.īoth men and women can easily pull this one off, as the scent perfectly stays in the middle. Is Le Labo Santal 33 For Men or For Women? ![]() However, having in mind that to some this scent may be too powerful and aggressive, if what you’re seeing here keeps you on the fence, I’d recommend testing it first with the sample before deciding is an entire bottle for you. You probably heard that this is exactly what New York smells like and that’s not far from the truth – Le Labo’s boutique in New York is very popular, and Santal 33 is one of the best-selling fragrances in New York.Įven though this is a very polarizing fragrance, I’d say it’s quite a safe blind buy if you love woody scents. Knowing that, today’s uniqueness of Santal 33 is still quite big, but you probably smelled something similar to it. However, due to its huge popularity, many dupes tried to replicate this incredible DNA, and some of them were pretty successful. When it comes to uniqueness, this scent was very unique in the first years after it came out. Overall, Le Labo Santal 33 smells very sensual, sophisticated, and creative. That’s actually what makes it so interesting – it’s clearly a woody scent, but the blend is so unique and reacts differently on different skins, on different weather, and on different occasions. To me personally, it leans more towards creamy and rich tones, but truth be told, I get both hints of dryness and creaminess at different times. Saying that, to some, the scent appears dry and woody, while to others it’s creamy woody, and rich. The difference is actually quite big – cedarwood gives the composition that dry, peppery and smoky tone, while sandalwood is creamy and slightly sweet in the background. ![]() To some, cedarwood dominates, while for others, all they feel is sandalwood. Since santal means sandalwood, you’d expect sandalwood to lead the main note, but that’s exactly what makes this fragrance polarizing. I don’t personally get that opening at all, nor does it remind me of similar, but if you’re one of those, let me know in the comments what actually triggers that hint!Īfter the opening is done, the heart and base start unwrapping making the entire scent woods heavy. What’s also interesting is that some people say that opening smells on cucumbers and pickles and very… Eastern-European like! Personally, I wouldn’t say that this is either warm spiciness or fresh spiciness – woods kind of prevent that vibe to be detected but instead it gives the opening a lot of versatility to go in multiple directions. Right after the initial spray you immediately feel the slight spiciness from cardamom mixing together with a sawdust-like scent that wood are providing. Le Labo never disclosed their notes pyramid, but the olfactive notes are sandalwood, cedarwood, leather, papyrus, cardamom, violet, iris, and amber. Le Labo Santal 33 smells very woody and somewhat spicy where the main notes that dominate the scent are sandalwood and cedarwood.
