What does Sandy Papyrus smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though with few votes this reading is tentative. It is classed as a masculine scent.
Sweetness and spice lead, softened by a woody, creamy base. Sandalwood carries the creamy texture, cardamom and basil add a spiced, slightly herbal edge, and patchouli gives depth. La Petite Madeleine Âme Santal and Jo Malone Sandalwood & Spiced Apricot have a close profile.
