What does Sand smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters place it in leisure and daily wear, with some picking business settings; evening and night out get fewer votes.

It opens with coconut milk, Italian bergamot and pink pepper. Kahili ginger, jasmine absolute and benzoin lead the heart. In the base, vanilla absolute, musk and sandalwood settle it into a creamy, woody, resinous sweetness. Rabanne Olympēa Parfum and Maison Matine Avant l'Orage have a close profile.
