The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022 by Stéphane Humbert Lucas, Sand Dance is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance that weaves together woody and warm spicy accords with notes of whiskey, cacao, and vanilla. The opening is marked by the distinctive aroma of whiskey, which gives way to a rich heart of coriander, mandarin orange, sesame, and anise. As it settles into its base, Sand Dance reveals a luxurious blend of sandalwood, tonka bean, benzoin, styrax, white cedar extract, patchouli, vanilla, and cashmere wood, creating a warm and enveloping scent that feels both modern and lasting.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points in the morning. The whiskey note is strongest initially but fades into a warm, spicy vanilla base over time. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than across a room, so aim for subtle application.
