    My initial reaction to Santal de Mysore by Serge Lutens was one of disappointment and confusion. Yes, the sandalwood was there, but it was hiding under a huge pile of spices and dessert. It was...

    In reality, Santal de Mysore is a savoury perfume interpretation of garam masala, and with a French take. And by that I mean - it has cumin in it. When I was in an Indian restaurant in Grasse...

    Santal de Mysore is swoon-inducing, with the creamiest sandalwood from Mysore and a spicy contrast of what I can only describe as an Indian restaurant. In a good way though :-) My only regret is...

    This was AWFUL. A total scrubber, the lingering traces of that awful ethnic food odor stuck on me all day... was TERRBILE. First Serge Lutens that I did not like, and I -hated- this. My husband...

    I just adore sandalwood, but Santal de Mysore is just NOT for me. My first impression is of almost overwhelming sweetness, definitely something caramelized. Often I like sweet notes, but they have...

    I am late to review this one-- I can't believe I had never tried it before. I'm a big fan of the dry chippy quality of Santal Blanc-- but this is an entirely different sandalwood. An almost...

    Magnificent. On me, the spice is (luckily) subtle, just enough to keep the scent from getting too heavy, although it is still rich. Unfortunately, it eventually turns to nothing but cumin on my...

    Curry. I had read other fragrances that said a perfume smelled like that, and I didn't quite believe it. It's true; some do, and this is one of them. Ish.

    This is certainly strange on me! It starts out very figgy, then soon turns sour, then ends up smelling like curry!

    Notes: Mysore sandalwood, cumin, spices, styrax balsam and caramelized Siamese benzoin. While on my sandalwood adventure, I recently decided to seek out this non-export Serge Lutens rendition of...

    This smells like incense and syrup to me. Nothing more, nothing less. The Boyfriend said incense with a "flavored 'left-handed cigar'" wink wink nudge nudge. I didn't particularly care for it as...

    Spicy sandalwood fragrance that takes a while to meld into a sweet, luscious sandalwood, where the spice rack is no longer so prominent. Much more wearable for me than Santal Blanc, which made me...

    The first burst of Santal Mysore smelled very medicinal and unpleasant to my nose. Then, the Indian food appeared, completely overwhelming the sandalwood and yes, exuding a scent that I can't help...

    Just read the reviews for Santal de Mysore. I'm left feeling moderately concerned that I've got some sort of bad karma I'm having to pay off here. Santal de Mysore on me is a luscious, sweet...

    I'm going to assert that anyone seeking a sandalwood scent as the rest of the world--or most of the world--knows it, should feel free to flee from Santal de Mysore, a stunning exhibition in...

    This just might be my HG sandalwood. It's intense, spicy, sophisticated, and delicious, even in hot weather. Sandalwood is the star here, with a supporting cast of cumin and other spices. Although...

    A woody, spicy sandalwood fragrance. Very unusual. I like it a lot more than SL Santal Blanc.

    Santal de Mysore is one of my favourite Serge Lutens fragrance. I am transported on this perfume wich to me exudes exoticism..... It melts perfectly to body chemistry and skin.
