Le Labo's Santal 33 became one of the most recognized fragrances of the last decade for a reason. It's woody, slightly smoky, and quietly confident — the kind of scent that doesn't announce itself but makes people turn their heads. Cyperus No. 60 by Twist Perfumes captures that same character: cool, sophisticated, and deeply wearable, at a price point that makes it a realistic everyday option rather than a special-occasion splurge.
The scent opens with a clean, slightly spicy cardamom note before settling into a heart of dry, structured cedarwood. The base is where it comes alive — a warm, creamy sandalwood that clings to the skin and evolves subtly throughout the day. The overall effect is woody and intimate, with a smokiness that feels natural rather than heavy. It's unisex in the truest sense: equally suited to men and women, and the kind of fragrance that becomes a signature over time. Twist Perfumes is known for high-quality, long-lasting fragrance interpretations that perform with impressive fidelity to their inspirations.
This is the fragrance for anyone who appreciates understated, refined scents that draw people closer without announcing themselves.

How to Wear It
Apply to pulse points — wrists, neck, and chest — where body heat will amplify the sandalwood base and develop the fragrance's full complexity. The woody, resinous character performs particularly well in cooler months, though the clean, unisex profile makes it suitable year-round. Applying to moisturized skin extends the longevity significantly.
Scent Profile
The opening is clean and slightly spicy with a cardamom freshness that gives way to a dry, structured cedarwood heart. The sandalwood base is warm and creamy — intimate and skin-like rather than heavy or overpowering. The smokiness is subtle and natural, adding depth without dominating. The overall effect is the kind of fragrance that becomes a personal signature: consistent, recognizable, and quietly distinctive.
How close is this to the original Santal 33?
Cyperus No. 60 is a faithful interpretation that captures the woody, smoky, and sandalwood character of Santal 33 very closely — it's widely praised for its accuracy and longevity at a fraction of the original's price.
Is this truly unisex?
Yes — the woody, clean, and slightly smoky profile sits comfortably in unisex territory and is regularly worn by both men and women as a signature everyday fragrance.
How long does the scent last?
As an EDP, Cyperus No. 60 typically lasts 8 to 12 hours on the skin, with the sandalwood base notes lingering even longer on clothing.
