    I like the music in this ad-
    I hope Ambre Eternal doesn’t fall too much on the masculine side. The notes sound wonderful.

      I don’t know if Santal Royal leaned masculine since I never smelled it. This one has leather, so would not surprise me if it did…

        I have never smelled Santal Royal either.

        I found Santal Royal (after a single spray on skin) unmemorable (and skewed masculine). If I hadn’t been sniffing it at Guerlain, I would have forgotten it entirely.

          AH, ok. The new one will most likely skew masculine as well. Money saved I’d say!

    I like Santal Royal because I prefer woody florals.
    A woman could easily wear it. I loved the top notes of Chamade Pour Homme but could not wear it because the drydown was decidedly masculine.
