Original Santal by Creed is a dry, spiced wood built around sandalwood rather than the sharper woods many scents lean on. Bergamot and ginger open it with a fresh, peppery snap, joined by cinnamon, coriander and a green edge of juniper and rosemary. Geranium, lavender and orange blossom soften the heart before sandalwood takes over. Cedarwood, musk, oakmoss and tonka bean settle into a warm base, with vanilla rounding the edges. It came out in 2005 as an Eau de Parfum, worn by men and women alike, and suits anyone who wants real depth. Voters wear it right across the year, mostly by day and into the evening. Longevity comes out clearly long-lasting in the vote, while sillage settles just as clearly on moderate. Live with a 3ml decant for a week before you decide it's worth the bottle.
