‘Like a sunny island dream, Sand and Skin is all about the languor and pleasure of a moment of eternity set on a fine sandy beach, with the sun undulating on the skin, leaving an inimitable memory: that of a vanilla absolute further magnified by the essence of benzoin and a fraction of ylang-ylang. An addictive, warm composition with obvious charm.
Inspiration: On the beach, it shines and calls to the eye, the touch and the ear. On the bottle cap of sand and skin, this shell motif, a friend of the shores, also calls to the sense of smell and the pleasure of discovering a solar and voluptuous fragrance. The warm brown tones evoke the end of a day when the sun offers a fiery spectacle.’ – Floraiku
Quote from the perfumer:”On a remote island, the white wisps of incandescent benzoin heated by the sun mingle with the irresistible scent of black vanilla pods… In the shade of lush vegetation, a gentle breeze, imbued with the bewitching scent of ylang-ylang, refreshes the air and envelops you in a gentle torpor.”
