Finally, I got my hands on a bottle of this juice and it hasn't disappointed me at all! For me this was a more cost effective alternative to Creed Santal and a very good likeness too. It is also very similar to Mont Blanc presence in that it has a creamy, soapy, powdery quality to it. I would liken these fragrances to a sweet, milky curry like a korma or a pasanda...very light but with underlying spice. The spices come through beautifully and make this a complex and devine fragrance that is very masculine yet soft and subtle. Well done Mont Blanc, another great one here...I love it.
