Santal Austral is well-regarded for its refined blending and quality sandalwood note with impressive longevity, though some find it lacks memorable character despite being pleasant. The fragrance appeals most to those who specifically enjoy sandalwood and creamy white wood compositions, though it may feel derivative to some compared to other Matiere Premiere offerings.

The r/fragrance community views Gentle Fluidity Gold as a well-crafted, addictive fragrance with a luxurious marshmallow-like character and excellent balance between sweetness and elegance. While widely praised and recommended for sampling, some find it too feminine or overly sweet for regular rotation, but most agree it's worth experiencing at least in sample form.
