Comparison: Le Labo - Santal 33
Couldn't load pickup availability
Symphony 33 by Macarena is frequently compared with Santal 33 by Le Labo because both revolve around cardamom, iris, violet, sandalwood, cedar, leather, and musk. Macarena keeps that dry woody profile simple and direct, with creamy sandalwood doing most of the work once the opening settles. The result feels familiar and easy to wear rather than especially complicated.
Top: cardamom, iris, violet
Middle: australian sandalwood, cedarwood
Base: leather, musk
Symphony 33 feels like freshly cut sandalwood dusted with cardamom and a little violet powder. Iris softens the opening, then cedar adds a drier pencil-like edge through the middle. Leather and musk stay low in the base, giving the final stage a clean smoky wood feel rather than a sweet finish.
Symphony 33 gives moderate projection, with cardamom and woods most noticeable early before the scent settles into a closer sandalwood-leather aura. Longevity is moderate to good, with the woody base lasting for several hours.
Fall, spring, and mild winter weather work well for work, dinner, casual evenings, and day-to-night wear. Cardamom, sandalwood, cedar, leather, and musk make it neutral with a slight masculine lean.
