It's interesting to see there are now three "santals" in the line. <br />You can always shop on Ebay for samples (or use one of the reliable online decanters). ;-)Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-82977660552463001232012-06-06T14:54:12.164+01:002012-06-06T14:54:12.164+01:00I love sandalwood (straight up and I have the tin...I love sandalwood (straight up and I have the tiniest sample of Mysore which I treasure) but have yet to try any of SL's interpretations (maybe because they are out of my budget!).
