Together with Blue Incense (and far over Blue Cedrat) another amazing new "blue" creation from CdG. I've already purchased Blue Encens this one may soon be on my shelf too.
#Light blue cdg skin
Its sillage is light to average, and when it stops as a sillage-maker, it continues for a few more hours as an enjoyably sniffable skin scent. Perhaps exaggerated by its linearity, Blue Santal has very good longevity. The metallic tinge of the sandalwood isn't the only difference: Blue Santal has less cedar than Tam Dao, which I think is a good thing if one is looking to buy a sandalwood fragrance. It's not as creamy as the sandalwood I smell in… say… Tam Dao. I enjoy sniffing it, and in the course of the scent, I smell mostly sandalwood in its different guises… it is sandalwood-light… it is metallic sandalwood… it is boozy sandalwood. It is a subtly unusual fragrance a creative rebel that disguises itself as a conformist sandalwood. I find that Blue Santal is pretty much linear. I thoroughly enjoy this version of sandalwood.
I think it's the juniper berry note that is responsible for the metallic possibly the boozy tone that Darvant mentions. The sandalwood is not natural because it has a bit of a metallic tinge to it. The opening wood note, according to the scent pyramid, is pine and I have no reason to disagree that it's there, but I get a soft, dry, not-quite-natural sandalwood right from the start.
Definitely a wood scent worthy of consideration.
