What does Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick summer or spring, with autumn far behind. Daily wear, leisure and business are the most common settings, and sport gets votes too. Most voters call it masculine or modern, though a fair number find it feminine.

As a whole it carries the bright citrus of bergamot and mandarin orange. Ginger adds a light sharpness, while blackcurrant brings a fruity sweetness. Orange blossom softens the mix, and tonka bean and amber lay a warm, sweet base underneath.
