Carolina Herrera Sandal Ruby is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Fabrice Pellegrin. Sandal Ruby opens with Pepper and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Geranium and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Carolina Herrera's Sandal Ruby carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Sandal Ruby is a controversial beast: some find it a sublime, spicy-floral-woody dream, while others recoil from its synthetic harshness. It is definitely not a safe blind buy, but if it works for you, prepare to be addicted to its bold, unapologetic character.

About

Sandal Ruby opens with a fiery kick of black pepper and cinnamon, demanding attention with its intense, warm spice. A creamy heart of tuberose and geranium soon emerges, softening the initial impact with a touch of white floral elegance. The dry down settles into a luxurious embrace of rich sandalwood and earthy patchouli, grounded by sturdy cedar, culminating in a smooth, lingering warmth.
