The Dossier version is slightly more peppery than the LeLabo version, but still really good. The smell is really strong at first, but unfortunately fades after like 2 hours. I have noticed that the smell lasts longer when sprayed on my clothes instead of my skin. Im currently at hour 4 of wear, and my clothes smell if you put your nose on them, but my skin doesnt even have a hint of it.

Love how this smells, but it doesn't last past 2 hours, if that. I have a sample of the original Santal 33, and a small amount lasts all day long. This one comes out smelling like Santal 33, but an hour to two hours later, you won't smell it at all. It's as if there isn't enough oil in the cologne. I purchased this one and 3 others and have the same result, unfortunately. None of them lasted past 2 hours.I would return all 4 bottles that I purchased, but I hate the hassle. I will just use them as car and room fresheners.

Sweeter smelling than Santal 33. Doesnt throw or last very long, and lacks the complexity and layers of other fragranceskind of one note. Has that cheaper perfume alcohol/chemical lingering smell that Le Labo does not, which makes sense given the price point difference. Smelled it on someone else and loved it, so I ordered it! But kind of disappointed with how it smells on me and how it wears.

I just ordered this today in a duo combo with something else (can't remember unless I go to my order summary) plus a free "free the musk" small bottle.I am really in a deep search for one scent that contains all of these:Bergamot, sandalwood, lavender, jasmine, amber & musk.Can somebody suggest the closest perfume to my search for my signature perfume? I was a "Tova Signature" fanatic. But she passed away then suddenly the formulation is not the same anymore. So I stop buying it and now at a lost for finding my new replacement Signature perfume.HHHHEEEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!I gave 5 stars cuz I'm hoping to like these 3 scents that I just ordered. Crossing my finger not to get disappointed.

I purchased a new woody sandalwood because mine was running low. The new one smells similar but it's not the same. First off the color, my first bottle was clear. This one has a yellow color to it. Secondly, the smell is not the same at all. It still smells ok but not as good as my first bottle. And lastly the new scent does not last at all. I need several pumps more than I used to use and it fades very quickly. Where as my other bottle stays all day and I can even smell it on my laundry later. I'm so bummed. The quality has changed for sure and not in a good way.

I have both Woody Sandalwood and Santal 33, and I don't believe too many people would be able to tell them apart after the first 45 minutes. In the opening, Le Labo's fragrance has a black pepper note that I don't get with Woody Sandalwood. Both have a floral, violet-iris accord, but it's more prominent in the opening of Santal 33. It leans it slightly more feminine than Dossier's because of it, though both are clearly unisex fragrances. I prefer Woody Sandalwood. It gets to the drydown faster. That's where both smell the best. . and identical. Santal 33 is an EDP, so it lasts an hour longer. I get 6 hours with it and 5 with Woody Sandalwood. 10/10.

I was expecting ALOT from this scent due to all the good reviews "hype" . . but all I smell is pinesol . . others say I smell good . . I'm not happy . . I LOVE le labo the noir/citrus tea . . smells like tea then dries down to this real rose potpourri scent . . I wanted the interesting different scent of tea but then I wanted roses and weirdly found a perfume that has both

Woody Sandalwood opens with a fresh, almost spa-like cucumber water its so crisp like a pear, light, and airy. It smells green almost like its infused with phytonutrients.... But once it kisses your skin? Baby... it turns. It melts into a rich, creamy, seductive wood ! Its warm, skin-like, and undeniably sensual. Theres a softness here that feels intimate, like a secret kept close.People dont just ask what Im wearing,they assume its Santal 33. The dupe is real, but this one leans more feminine and flirty, less smoke, more glow. I layer it with a deep incense oil to anchor it, and thats when the real spell begins. Alone, shes gentle. Layered, shes seductive .It lasts 23 hours solo, up to 6 hours when layered. A scent that speaks in whispers... and leaves a trace throughout daylight.The more I sweat ,the more this becomes a signature pheromone scent that trickles into the warmth of the evening .

I really wanted to like this perfume, but unfortunately it didnt work for me. When I first sprayed it on my wrist, I could barely smell anything I had to sniff really hard, and still got almost nothing. I tried spraying it on my clothes and in the air, but the projection was practically nonexistent. Eventually, I did start to pick up the scent a little, but it wasnt that great. The initial note was mostly alcohol, followed by a version of Santal 33 that was close, but missing something. It didnt capture the depth of the original, and the lack of projection made it feel useless. I ended up returning it.

Not sure about this one, not sure how to even describe scent . . at first sniff smells like tea to me ? Not floral not necessarily green, definately not sweet or warm . . just kindov an odd , sharp herb scent . . don't like it in itself, but, when sprayed with others, say amber peach for ex. , Really promoted the sweetness , Beautiful
