What does Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes Intense smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, while few choose winter. It is used mostly for leisure and daily wear, with a place in the office too. It reads masculine and modern.

Bergamot, lemon and mandarin orange give it a bright citrus start, with blackcurrant adding a soft fruity side. Ginger carries the spice, while tonka bean and orange blossom push the scent towards something sweet and creamy. Amber, labdanum and musk form a warm, soft base.
