Our verdict on Sandflowers: Acquired

Sandflowers is a seriously divisive Montale. It's a remarkably authentic aquatic - a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, praised by some for its uniquely salty, mineral realism, and derided by others as an 'old aquarium' or 'metallic iodine'.

About

It hits you with a sharp, almost medicinal marine blast, a full-on salty sea spray that settles into a robust woody-aromatic heart. Think warm, sun-baked sand and air-dried skin, underpinned by earthy oakmoss and a distinctive juniper freshness. It’s raw, natural, and surprisingly dry for an aquatic, eschewing sweet or floral commonplaces.
