Le Labo: Santal 33
by habituallychic
05 . 25 . 11
I have been wearing Santal 26 from Le Labo for almost two years now and still love it. I have never had more people, both men and women, ask me what I’m wearing and tell me that I smell good. As an interior designer, I get a kick out of telling that it’s technically a room spray. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one wearing this unique scent because they have just come out with the perfume version, Santal 33. I am glad I was to test the new fragrance before my cold left me unable to breathe or smell. It seems a bit spicier and a little more masculine which seems fitting since the description mentions the Marlboro Man. My bottle of Santal 26 is just about empty and I still haven’t decided if I’ll switch over yet. There is something about the room spray as perfume that not only smells great but makes me smile!

Mysterious secrets shared like that are always fun!
love, love Santal 26. it’s timeless!
Funny you mention that Santal 26 is actually a room spray — but that you still get compliments on it! I’d contemplated buying the “Essence of John Galliano” room spray by Diptyque, based on how brilliant the candle version is. I don’t know how often guests have commented on that candle, but it’s often enough to want a fragrance version of it!
Thanks for the Santal tip, btw — sounds wonderful.
Take care,
Michael
Le Labo fragrances are the best. I have a few, but Santal 26 is my favorite (love anything sandalwood) And yes, people ALWAYS ask what I’m wearing. Strangers have approached me at restaurants on more than one occasion! The 33 will have to be pretty special to make a convert out of me!
Haha, awesome: you’ve personality wearing a perfume that’s actually a home fragrance. I like it, I would do the same with some =).
Hope you get better soon!

You are wearing a home fragance!! How weird and how very SMART !! I have a few home fragances, I was tempted to wear on my person, but somehow was reluctant…. you have convinced me. I will do it.
You intriqued me with your story on your fav fragrance….I have just ordered a personalized bottle of Santal 26.
My current new fav home fragance is by Mizensir/Orchid-Chololat and also their fleur d’oranger . ( Swiss )
Well, I cannot wait to receive the Santal 26 and let you know what I think of it.
Best,

Does the Santal 26 last as long as the sandal 33 perfume??
To be honest, Santal 26 doesn’t smell they same as when I first started wearing it. I moved to Santal 33 although I don’t think it smells as good either. Sorry. I hope this helps!
