Jago (COMPARE TO: Le Labo's Santal 33)

COMPARE TO: Le Labo's Santal 33 ($310) Jago is a beautiful sandalwood scent, pleasantly smooth and realistic. It opens with a nice woody accord, which is lifted by peppery cardamom. There are subtle hints of powdery iris and pine forest notes. Sandalwood is the key, and here it is soft and rich: undemanding and enjoyable. As Jago develops, an animalic leather note comes to the fore, complementing the sandalwood nicely.
