Which Should You Buy?
This is a grown-up, elegant vetiver with serious cult status. Divisive over price and its similarity to Encre Noire, but for fans, it's a 'holy grail' sophisticated woody, smoky experience that few can match.
Made Of Sand is exactly what it says on the tin: a clean, fresh, woody scent that evokes windswept beaches. It's an easy-to-wear, crowd-pleasing scent that's perfect for everyday wear, though it might not surprise you.
