The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, Gardens In The Desert Sand by Zara is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men that juxtaposes warm spices with woody and aromatic notes to create a distinctive olfactory experience. Pimento at the top offers a fresh spicy kick, while geranium in the heart adds a touch of herbal warmth. The base of sandalwood grounds the composition, providing a rich and enduring woody depth.
This fragrance blooms gradually, so aim for two sprays to ensure that the base notes of sandalwood have time to develop. It reads best close to skin rather than projecting across a room.
