Aromatika Ace Scents Sandalwood Myyrh

 


Very attractive men's cologne scent on the stick. It's quite perfumed and synthetic, but appealing none-the-less. 

I'm up and down with this Ace Scents series from Aromatika. There's the sense that it's machine made and synthetic rather than the natural and hand-made impression given by the "Natural Masala" of the sub-title; but, despite that, the scents on a number of the Ace Scents sticks are really quite beguiling. And this one certainly has claims to being beguiling. 

The scent on the burn, while not quite as charming as that on the stick, certainly closely matches it, hindered only by a certain vagueness and some soft smoke. There's the warm, sweet, sexy, slightly musky notes of sandalwood - or, rather, αlpha-Santalol, the key ingredient in both synthetic and genuine sandalwood. There's an interesting chalk edge, which stops the sandalwood from becoming too sweet and cloying. Some mineral notes, a bit of floral, a gentle hint of spice. An attractive and soft burn that informs the room pleasantly. I like this.
