After a while, you’ll notice the sandalwood and vetiver making the scent creamier and a bit green, which makes the wood smell even better. The finish is smooth, with a touch of amber and vanilla that adds just a bit of sweetness, but not too much. It’s complex but everything fits together perfectly.
