Sadly, it seems barely anyone has moved on from Santal 33 in San Francisco. It's like everyone takes a bath in it every day and are stoked to be basic.
Lol! I haven’t smelled it in a while actually but that’s so interesting! Matiere Premiere Santal Austral I think is a really beautiful alternative that’s a bit more interesting. 🥰
100 percent! I included niche more so because they’re more unheard of and similar price point to BR540. However there are amazing options under 200 even from non dept store brands like Henry Rose, Ellis Brooklyn and Kayali. Non related to BR540 I also like Burberry Goddess Eau De Parfum 🥰
I’ll have to test the Burberry one! I like Burberry Her ( it’s by Francis Kurkdjian!) and Burberry Her Elixer. You should try Doiriviera by Dior. I think FK made that one too. My sister generously bought me a bottle.

100 percent!
Loved this post and completely agree!!!!
Thank you for the comment! So glad you enjoyed! 🥰💅🏻
Remember when Barneys basically started using Santal 33 as room spray?
lol yes. Unrelated I also have bad memories of TF’s black orchid bc when I worked there they used it as air freshener in the toilets 😂😂
Love this post! It’s possible to wear department store fragrances vs niche fragrances too. I try to keep my fragrances under $200.
Oh I also like Burberry Her too! I’ll def try the Dior one you mentioned next time I’m out. Thanks for the recommendation!
