Hey all, I have a question about Santa Maria Novella's Sandalo. I have a bottle in the more recent bottle design and was greatly disappointed. It smells too herbal/medicinal with the eucalyptus overpowering the sandalwood, which even that smelled more like a dry woody variety. I was wondering if anyone's tried it from the older bottle design, the ones with the gold foil label and if there's any difference. My guess is that there isn't but who knows. Perhaps Sandalo once had a creamier sandalwood note?
