   A friend passed me a decant of Santal Basmati (2015) and I wasn’t prepared for it. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Sandalwood with Rice Basmati, which is where the fragrance really shines. Give it a little time and Sandalwood with Rice Basmati comes forward — smooth and well done. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

   A couple of wears in, Santal Basmati has really grown on me. The heart is the best part for me: Sandalwood and Rice Basmati feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Sandalwood with Rice Basmati comes forward — smooth and well done. I get about four to six hours before it turns into a skin scent. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.

   Affinessence knows how to compose, and Santal Basmati (2015) is proof. Give it a little time and Sandalwood with Rice Basmati comes forward — smooth and well done. The heart is the best part for me: Sandalwood and Rice Basmati feel carefully balanced. I get about four to six hours before it turns into a skin scent. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

   Everyone keeps talking about Santal Basmati, so I finally gave it a proper test. The heart is the best part for me: Sandalwood and Rice Basmati feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Sandalwood with Rice Basmati comes forward — smooth and well done. It lasts through a full workday on me, which is exactly what I want. The composition is well made but not for me.

   Picked up a sample of Santal Basmati after reading the community buzz (2015). Give it a little time and Sandalwood with Rice Basmati comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Sandalwood with Rice Basmati, which is where the fragrance really shines. The trail is there if someone steps close, not across the room. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.

   A decant of Santal Basmati sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Sandalwood with Rice Basmati, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Sandalwood and Rice Basmati feel carefully balanced. Performance is consistent: comfortable sillage and several hours of wear on my skin. Easily one of my favourite finds this season.
