It’s uncommon to have a signature scent these days. The perfume boom has encouraged people to expand their fragrance wardrobes and include a range of options to be spritzed depending on their mood. That said, Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer is still loyal to one very special scent: Le Labo Santal 33. Better yet, it’s currently discounted (which rarely happens!) for Nordstrom’s Anniversary sale.
The actress has sung the praises of this perfume for years, calling it her “signature scent” even though she technically stole it from someone else. “I was working with someone years ago who wore it, and I thought it was so delicious so I copied her, and now it’s mine,” she tells Harper’s Bazaar Australia. You know what they say — imitation is the best form of flattery, but Comer assures that “it smells different on everyone.”
Due to the chameleon-like effect that Comer describes, Santal 33 has become one of the most sought after fragrances. However, owning this scent often stays a distant dream because of its high price point. Nordstrom is making it more feasible to get a bottle during its sale, with an exclusive size that’s under $200.
The elegant, sandalwood-forward scent feels like self-assurance in a bottle. A single spritz takes you on an emotional journey: A dash of cardamom and cedar gives you a burst of energy, before violet and amber dance across your skin to effortlessly boost confidence. As this wears, amber, sandalwood and leather come to the forefront to ground you in strength and clarity.
I think the real reason this perfume is so popular is because it makes everyone feel more like themselves. And what’s more beautiful than that?
You can experience the magic — at a discount — while supplies last. On the off-chance that Santal 33 doesn’t speak to you, you can score some major deals on other bestselling fragrances during the Anniversary sale, below.
