A rose at 85 held up by cardamom, nutmeg and cumin: the spice is what lifts it out of the ordinary floral register. At 8 for wear time against 6 for projection, it lasts without imposing. The mineral accord at 45 is the sand that gives the scent its name. Set at 50, it is genuinely unisex, and cold is its season.
