    Was scared to try SL as my first try was a total failure (gris clair). Something kept telling me to go back and I finally pushed aside the herd of cattle who always stalk the SL counter at my...

    Delicious, complex, haunting. With my skin chemistry, I mean. On me it is very very dry and sandalwoodsy, with only the most delightful hint of cumin/fenugreek (maybe) and something elusively...

    Normally I love just about anything from Serge Lutens. This one, however, is just a like. If this scent did not contain cumin, it would be a total winner. Cumin can work in some scents, but the...

    My initial experience with this unlikely beauty was nothing special. I was not wowed by it, I was not repulsed, it was just there and I didn't take great notice. Fast-forward oh about 14 months or...

    Very sharp cumin/curry spice on initial spritz, and lasting for about 75% of the total time this scent is detectable on my skin. The final drydown is more appealing, but it's more peppery than...

    I'm really shocked by the number of poor reviews for Santal Blanc. It really is testimony to the fact that fragrance selection is as much a matter of body chemistry as it is personal taste. For...

    Tried this one while looking for a sandalwood scent, but it really is more of an Oriental. Warm, spicy, sweet, but I like the spices in Ambre Sultan better. I'm not getting any odd unlpeasant...

    Smells to me like a fan made of sandalwood and stored in a box, a gift from a student. Pure wood, light and airy but not ethereal, cerebral and grounded, a calm presence and keen, unagressive...

    I am definitely in the minority here whose chemistry works with Santal Blanc. Or maybe I just have weird fragrance tastes. Whatever the case, a short backgrounder: I sniffed Serge's Exclusive...

    Interesting fragrance! And I mean that in a good way! Upon first sniff SB smelled extremely familiar and it took me awhile to place it. When SB starts to dry down it smells very similar to a...

    Oh, I'm starting to lose faith in you, Monsieur. Santal Blanc is quite possibly my least favorite of all the Lutens... gosh, I can't even say that, because that implies it's still a "favorite." No,...

    Oh good grief! What *is* it with Serge and these weird opening notes? I do not wish to smell like burnt tyres. I waited and waited for something vaguely perfume-like to emerge but, OK, it became...

    One of the very few Lutens I dislike, I ended up swapping away my bottle. Bleh!

    *Intense* woods, incense with an undercurrent of cumin (aka b.o.). I get the pickle reference (though I DESPISE pickles and don't despise this). It's sooooo woodsy it's like a plank of raw, fresh...

    Sometimes a fragrance will just get you. I mean 'get' you - like it understands where you're coming from. This one is proof chemistry exists. On me this is a buttery woodsy fragrance, with a...

    I wish I hadn't read the reviews first, so that pickle juice and dead prune would not come to mind. Santal Blanc did show complex development, namely 1. prunes covered in burnt chocolate, 2....

    Woody and spicy to the extreme. I usually like woody scents but this one was a bit much: I can't stop sneezing. I feel like I've inhaled a good amount of wood shavings and cannot clear my throat...
