Which Should You Buy?
Sand and Skin is a surprisingly divisive scent, with some finding it a comforting, warm vanilla and others experiencing an unpleasant smoky or powdery opening. If it clicks for you, it's an addictive skin scent, but don't blind buy; skin chemistry plays a huge role here.
This is a serious, grown-up amber, not for the faint of heart. It's divisive, adored by those who appreciate its unique, melancholic elegance and disliked by those expecting a sweet, traditional amber. A blind buy for amber lovers, but proceed with caution.
