It’s been snowing all day, and now I’m watching the Grammy’s and wearing Santal Royal, Guerlain’s completely unnecessary addition to the rose-oud category of perfume. I guess they had to, they did create a line inspired by Middle Eastern perfume, but I’m not sure if this is really giving anything you can’t find anywhere else. Still, this is polished and well rounded with decent lasting power and sillage and no sugar, so it checks a lot of boxes for me. It’s like being dressed in The Row, you’re expensive, well-constructed, but nobody is going to know, you just smell good.
