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.

Gris Charnel receives divided opinions within the community. While some are optimistic about the new Extrait de Parfum concentration and appreciate the unique spiced character, others find the original too sour or experience minimal fig presence. The fragrance appeals to niche enthusiasts but lacks consensus as a mainstream fig fragrance recommendation.
