Our Santal Diffuser Oil – An Irresistible Santal 33 Dupe

Our Santal 1033 is an intriguing, exact duplicate of Le Labo’s Santal 33 perfume, which was originally created by perfumer, Frank Voelkl and launched in 2011 as a candle scent.

It then became so overwhelmingly sought after that it was made into an addictive, mysterious and intoxicating fusion of elements that are simultaneously intimate, enigmatic and unforeseen.

Le Labo’s original scent and our duplication are both created with supreme artistry and craftsmanship. 

Le Labo’s Santal 33 was an instant classic with its arcane blend of ancient, alluring and intense facets.

Its name derives from sandalwood and its sacred associations with rituals and meditation, while the number 33 concerns the total number of ingredients.

Smoky, woody elements of warm Australian sandalwood and dry cedar wood blended with spicy, leathery and musky notes render a character that is unforgettable, comforting and addictive.

This scent is often praised for its sophisticated, unisex essence that blends a creamy sandalwood base with smoky, leathery notes, creating a warm, inviting fragrance that is considered unique for its ability to seamlessly transition from a casual accessory to one worn on formal occasions. 

Why Is Santal 33 So Famous?

Santal 33 has a fabulous, universal presence that loosens lines of gender identity and expression. Its many exotic and stunning facets fuse the human psyche to the elements of the natural world.

Its story is so much more complicated than its history, as the availability of this fragrance has shattered barriers of culture and society. It speaks of a new gauge in thinking that incorporates personal identity via fragrance.

Its scent profile is a beacon that shines brightly in the world of perfume. Its fame has raised its status to a niche fragrance that retains a one-of-a-kind ethos. 

The True Beauty Of Santal 33

Today Santal 33 has reached an almost cult-like status, which sails on the fringe of a quiet but consistent luxury trend that continues to dominate the contemporary world of fashion and perfume.

Comforting and absolutely addictive, this fragrance can easily take over a room.

Once experienced, it is recognized almost everywhere, exploding the realm of niche perfumery, which accounts for 10% of sales within the US $26 billion dollar industry.

Its appeal knows no boundaries of age or gender. Co-founder of the perfume brand, Le Labo, Fabrice Penot, told The New York Times in 2015:

“We are lucky at Le Labo to have a few ‘cults’ in our collection. But Santal 33 is another level of success.… As a perfumer, you always secretly hope, but you never expect to have such an impact. It happens once in a lifetime-if you are very, very lucky.”

The Santal 33-Inspired Fragrance Dupe

Our Santal 1033 blend is an identical replica of the popular Santal 33 cologne. 

Some experts might argue that it could not come any closer to the original scent, while others assert that the original is and always will be king.

Still others claim that the dupe is even better because the ingredients are less intense than the original. But what is the truth? 

This is the consumer rub, as the decision must always rest with the user.

Most agree however, that this fragrance dupe is like a soothing, crackling fire arising from the darkness of a forest primeval, seducing all in its path with its deep, rich, smoky and fragrant folds, like a siren lures a drowning sailor into the waves of the raging sea.

Why Is this Fragrance Dupe So Popular?

There is no one answer to this question.

The most obvious factor is that it offers an incredibly similar fragrance at a fraction of the cost of the original, but even that does not fully tell the tale. 

It is a luxury fragrance with treasured facets that subliminally open a golden door previously unavailable to most of us.

While our Santal 33 Type is hardly the only fragrance to dupe Le Labo’s iconic creation, it is by far the best out there, with a smoother scent profile that deftly retains less intensity than the original.

It’s popularity is ever growing as sources constantly extoll the one-of-a-kind elegant beauty of its treasured ingredients which include: creamy sandalwood, balsamic cedar wood, and resinous cardamom.

What Does Santal 33 Smell Like?

This fabulous blend streams with opening aspects of resinous, spicy and woody cardamom.

An aromatic heart featuring a sense of sheer opulence soon takes hold with its touches of raspberry-nuanced iris, woody, powdery violet and smooth, rich and soft leather.

A dry down of creamy, velvety sandalwood, erotic, passionate musk and dry, balsamic cedar wood complete this enthralling luxury fragrance.

What Customers Are Saying About Our Santal 33 Dupe

Reviewers most frequently raved about how close this dupe is to the original Le Labo fragrance and how much more affordable it is.

They comment specifically about the key elements of soothing sandalwood, cardamom, which is known for its calming properties and positive effects on mental clarity and warm cedar wood.

Besides this, some believe this dupe is superior to the original because it is less intense and has a silky, smoother odor profile.

Others warn that it is still very concentrated, and as such, only requires a small amount to “feel the love.”
