What does Sandal Ruby smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Voters lean towards night-out and evening wear, though it also works for leisure and daytime. It sits comfortably on both men and women.

It opens spicy with black pepper, cinnamon and cardamom. In the heart, geranium, tuberose and milky notes add a soft, creamy floral touch. The base of Atlas cedar, sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla settles into a woody, powdery, sweet finish. Givenchy Gentleman Givenchy (Eau de Parfum) and Isabey Lys Noir have a close profile.
