This Dupe for Santal 33 is More Feminine and Affordable

#Maison Louis Marie;

I went to a Credo Beauty store yesterday in Boston and smelled the Maison Louis Marie Perfume Oil in

No.04 Bois de Balincourt

When I put it on my skin, my brain immediately goes, this is

Santal 33

. BUT BETTER.

I find Santal 33 to be too musky and heavy for me to wear on a day-to-day basis. The Bois de Balincourt
however, although woody, has a hint of freshness that lifts the spirit up a bit, and feels more feminine but still expensive & sophisticated at the same time.

No.04 Bois de Balincourt

being a Santal 33 dupe apparently is a well-known fact among fragrance nerds, proven by all the reviews mentioning their similarity.

Back to the Maison Louis Marie perfume oil, it lasted around 6-8 hours on me. But because it’s easy to apply and carry around, I am not too worried about it not lasting either.

Also, the small bottle of oil can last from 6 months to years because it’s more potent and you need way less than a spray. It’s an even more economical option because of that.

P.S. If you are looking for
