Santal Soundtrack by Hawthorne

As the weather begins to cool down here in Colorado, I finally had the chance to try out my new bottle of Santal Soundtrack by Hawthorne. Here are my thoughts on this fragrance.

Upon spritzing the fragrance, I was immediately welcomed by a creamy sandalwood scent, enriched with a subtle hint of musk. If you’ve ever experienced Elish No. 2, you’ll notice a strong similarity in that initial blast. This opening aroma is vibrant and holds strong for about 3-5 minutes. After this initial phase, a delightful suede leather note makes its entrance. It’s fascinating how they’ve managed to capture the essence of soft suede; it’s almost as if you can feel its texture through the scent. Around the 10-minute mark, a mild sweetness also begins to weave its way into the composition.

In terms of performance, Santal Soundtrack projects well for the first 10 minutes before settling closer to the skin. This is expected for a parfum concentration, as they typically don’t excel in projection. On my clothes, the scent persisted for over 8 hours, offering a gentle and soft aroma throughout the day. However, on my skin, the fragrance completely vanished after just 2 hours, so I’d recommend applying it to your clothing for the best longevity.

Overall, I’m quite satisfied with Santal Soundtrack. It strikes a balance between Elish No. 2 and Santal 33, making it an appealing choice for fans of those fragrances. However, if you find Santal 33’s potentially pickle-like aroma unappealing, this one might not be for you.

In conclusion, if you enjoy the DNA associated with creamy sandalwood and suede scents, Santal Soundtrack is definitely worth a try.
