Side by side
Same accord as Le Labo Santal 33. Different arithmetic.
33 is developed by perfumers who have composed scents for houses you already own. Same training. Same suppliers in Grasse, France. Same note structure as the £280 original, at 22–30% oil concentration (EDP grade). We cut the theatre, not the oil.

Summary · What customers say
Customers consistently describe 33 as remarkably close to Le Labo Santal 33, often indistinguishable on skin.
Multiple verified buyers report 6-10 hour longevity, matching or exceeding the original designer EDP.
The dry-down is widely praised as smooth and linear, with the EDP-grade oil concentration cited as the difference.
Repeat purchase is the most common follow-up: many reviewers are on their second or third bottle.
★★★★★

Cannot believe the quality at this price point. The longevity matches designer fragrances I have paid three times more for. Will definitely be ordering again.

On my second bottle
Started with the 5ml sample, now on my second full-size bottle. The oil concentration genuinely makes a difference to how long it lasts.
33 is The Fragrance World's Le Labo Santal 33 alternative — an Eau de Parfum formulated at 22–30% oil concentration (EDP grade) vs Le Labo Santal 33's 15-20% (EDP). £29.95 for 50ml vs £280. Made in Liverpool, UK. Vegan and cruelty-free. Not affiliated with Le Labo; referenced here under honest comparative advertising, protected by the UK Trade Marks Act 1994 s.11(2)(b).
No. 33 is an independently formulated fragrance inspired by Le Labo Santal 33. Our perfumers study the original scent profile and formulate at 22-30% oil concentration (EDP grade) to achieve a comparable experience. It is not affiliated with Le Labo.
Formulated at 22-30% oil concentration, expect 6-10 hours from a single application. That matches or exceeds the longevity of most designer EDPs at 15-20% concentration.
Yes. Every fragrance we make is vegan and cruelty-free. No exceptions.
Yes. The 5ml discovery spray is £4.95. That is roughly two weeks of daily wear from a single 5ml.
Same quality ingredients, same oil concentration range. The price difference comes from cutting celebrity endorsements, department store commissions, and brand licensing. We manufacture in Liverpool, UK and sell direct. The formulation standard is the same.
