Warm Sand by Matthew Williamson

I absolutely agree, there was nothing special going on here, I was quite bored with it. It's nice and ok, but so many other great sandalwood scents out there.

I bought this in TK Maxx because it was cheap and I thought,"Hmmm, a fragrance named Warm Sand... it will probably be warm/ambery/a little spicy...maybe some salty notes".... that is basically my go-to formula for an everyday perfume...

Do not be fooled! - "Warm Sand" is actually a white floral.

Yes, it is airy and tropical... I'm guessing it's frangipani and maybe some lily, but that heady warmth was not what I was looking for, and not what either the name or the notes listed here suggest.

It is not too grating or harsh a floral, but it is dense and, as I said before, heady. It's a summery perfume that, I suspect, would be too overpowering for summery days.

It's not terrible, but it is very unexciting, the tropical flowery warm thing has been done to death and with much more skill elsewhere. If you like that kind of thing and can get this cheap then it's probably an O.K. alternative to something like Michael Kors' Island, but otherwise I really wouldn't bother.
