The Story

A Fragrance Born from Elegance

There's a moment in the Sahara—just before sunset—when the sand turns liquid gold. The heat softens. The wind quiets. And for thirty perfect minutes, the desert doesn't burn. It glows.\n\nGolden Dunes captures that alchemy. The opening is warm vanilla—not sweet, but sun-baked and golden. Cardamom adds heat without fire. Tonka bean brings the richness of sand shaped by centuries. And underneath it all, amber hums like the desert floor holding the day's last warmth.\n\nThis isn't a summer fragrance. It's a sunset fragrance. The kind you wear when you want to feel the world slow down, when you want your presence to be felt like distant thunder—powerful, but never rushed.\n\nGolden Dunes is for the man who doesn't chase. He waits for the perfect moment, and when it arrives, he owns it completely.

"Received a sample and tested it for three evenings. The tonka bean dry-down is stunning—warm but not overwhelming. Lasts through Mumbai evenings without being cloying. Can't wait for the full bottle release."

Performance

Longevity

10-12 hours

Opens with a warm spicy vanilla that gradually deepens into a rich amber base. The fragrance becomes creamier and more sensual over time, lasting 12+ hours on skin and even longer on clothing.

Sillage & Projection

Strong

Projects strongly for the first 6 hours, leaving a warm, inviting trail. Settles into a close but persistent skin scent that radiates warmth in intimate settings.

Versatility

A masterclass in warm, sweet masculinity. While technically unisex, the amber and woods keep it grounded. Best reserved for evening wear and cooler months when the warmth truly shines.

Expert Tips

How to Wear

Application

2-3 sprays maximum—this is an incredibly potent fragrance. Target the neck and one wrist. The warmth amplifies on skin, so less is more. For maximum effect, spray on clothing where it will develop slowly.

Layering

Works beautifully with unscented or lightly vanilla-scented products. Avoid anything citrus-based as it clashes with the warm profile. Can be layered with woody fragrances for added depth.

Storage

Store in original box away from heat. Vanilla-based fragrances can develop with age, often becoming richer over time. Keep in a temperature-stable environment.
