The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009 by Pierre Montale, Sandflowers is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of coastal elegance. The composition opens with fresh spicy and marine notes, creating an invigorating contrast against its woody and mossy base. This duality creates a harmonious blend that feels both grounded and airy, perfect for those who appreciate the nuances of nature's contrasts.
Apply in light layers — the marine and fresh spicy notes fade quickly but the woody base lingers. It’s best for daytime wear when you want to feel both grounded and energized.
