Scent Notes
Amber, Cardamom, Cedarwood, Leather, Orris, Papyrus, Sandalwood, Violet
The top notes arrive as a luminous blend of amber, cardamom, and violet, warmed by Virginia cedar and papyrus. Leather and iris bring a whispered sophistication, while sandalwood and orris root establish the woody heart of the composition. This opening feels both intimate and inviting, setting a tone of radiant confidence that draws closer with each wear.
As the fragrance settles, the creamy sandalwood deepens, revealing layers of cedarwood complexity. The cardamom's spiced warmth plays beautifully against the cool, powdery iris, creating a balanced interplay between brightness and depth. This middle phase feels effortlessly refined—the kind of scent that feels like second skin rather than bold declaration.
The base anchors the composition with sustained woody notes and warm amber accords, creating an intimate skin-close trail that lasts 6–8 hours. Sillage remains noticeable without overwhelming, making Sandal 333 equally wearable as a day fragrance and an evening signature. Perfect for warm conditions yet sophisticated enough for year-round wear, this dupe delivers longevity and presence at a fraction of luxury price points.
