What does Sand Dance smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange, coriander and Irish cream, where the citrus freshness softens into spice and creamy sweetness. In the heart, cashmere wood, sandalwood and cocoa add a woody warmth. The base of styrax, benzoin and tonka bean dries down into a resinous, oriental sweetness, while cedar and patchouli give it a dry backbone.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with summer barely mentioned, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. Voters are split between masculine and feminine, which fits its unisex profile. Creed Centaurus and Phil Julian Fovere have a close profile.
