The combination of ozonic aldehydes, fresh florals and cut wood confused me, even as I boarded the plane. Interesting transparency and top notes, and there is some realism to the sand aroma some people point out, but I guess at this point I've just had enough of vintage orientals. Today, the second day of fall with temps a little cooler especially in the evening, Dune has enveloped me in pure creamy sandalwood/Brazilian Rosewood?

There's other notes I can't recognize separately, and the experience is far from linear as my experience of the scent varies at each sniff, but this is a perfume that is not just the sum of individual notes. Strong, sexy, very fresh and positive without being too sharp (though it is a tiny bit cutting, which could just be linked to the strength of the juice) or bitingly citrusy.

Trudging feet nudge newly formed dew, just as the beach's sand transforms into grass, muddling dark verdant notes of patchouli, wallflower and vetiver as the genesis of trail begins to form. I am curled up on my couch in a cozy blanket, enjoying the moody atmosphere, enveloped in a cloud of lightly spiced, sweet, woody powder - Dune.By allowing these cookies, you agree to the deposit, reading and use of tracking technologies necessary for their proper functioning.
