A dark enchanted forest fragrance
[short review]
Zara really surprises me sometimes and S4nd4lwood, in my opinion, is perhaps one of the best fragrances ever produced by Zara. Even the bottle is beautiful, discrete and elegant. Only the name obeys to puns that Zara likes to do sometimes ... Okay, I can live with that.
It is a linear fragrance, a dark masterpiece composed of notes of leather, smoke, wood ashes and sandalwood. It has just a little bit of iris (as a base note and smelling more of iris root) and ... where is the opening bergamot listed note? It doesn't matter either, because you don't miss it. It has a slightly synthetic connotation but it doesn't bother me.
It is a dry, dark, animalic and woody perfume (yes it has EdP concentration). It is a simple composition and the mixture was designed without appendages of amber, incense or candy to mask its simplicity.
With three sprays, it shows a high longevity - more than 8 hours - and an average sillage up to 1~1.25 meters.
When I tried S4nd4lwood for the first time, I immediately remembered two other very respectable fragrances: Cuir Intense by Guerlain and Santal 33 by Le Labo. Both are more complex and less synthetic, but much more expensive as well. I even like the bottle from Zara more than the bottles from Guerlain and Le Labo.
For the price (€ 12.5), you should go to a Zara store and buy it blindly. I do recommend it!
