Santal 33, Le Labo’s long-standing fragrance, is undoubtedly one of the most defining scents of the decade. Its popularity grew partly due to its unique yet clean scent and its androgyny. Santal 33, as a whole, gives off a subtle aroma of milk and roses mixed with dense, old woods. It’s a lovely, comforting, smooth scent as it opens and develops, although by the end, what you’re left with is a bunch of smoky, milky notes that capture the distinctive scent of Australian sandalwood. It exudes a woodsy-sweet cast that smells rugged, yet not overly masculine. Unfortunately, the only downside to Le Labo’s signature scent is the high price. On the plus side though, you can get the same scent for much less. Finding solid Le Labo Santal 33 alternatives isn’t exactly easy, as the legendary perfumery likes to keep their proprietary blends uber-exclusive. The following best afordable alternatives I’m going to lay out are very similar to Le Labo Santal 33, although they might not all perfectly encapsulate the striking mystery of Le Labo.
