What does Sandflowers smell like?

It opens with aquatic notes, seawater and algae for a cool, briny feel. In the heart, spices and juniper berry add a dry, lightly spicy edge. The base of sandalwood and oakmoss softens everything into a woody, slightly sweet finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daytime and office wear lead the occasions. Votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine, so it reads as truly in between. Close in profile are La Rive Distant Wave and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Gentle Fluidity (Silver).
