Sand Dance Eau de Parfum STEPHANE HUMBERT LUCAS

This thing is powerful and overtakes any other fragrance. It opens on an earthy bitter cacao and whisky. It's an actually well done masculine gourmand. However as it dries down it gets sweeter as the vanilla comes through and a little less masculine. The projection is a lot more vanilla forward than the skin scent. It's a projection beast. It was an immediate love. I fear me and Stephane Humbert Lucas are in it for live. I'd recommend this for both men and women who love cacao& whisky and something to warm them up during the cold winter.

Hypnotic spicy vanilla. There is a high percentage of iso e super/ambroxan/synthetics which normally turns me off. However it works here. This is not groundbreaking, just a comfortable easy wear for any occasion. There is an undercurrent of sensuality which is lovely. Unisex.
Big sillage and lasts all day.

Ambery , powdery spicy chocolate. Reminds me of Suma Oriental by Une Nuit Nomade and that one is cheaper and wayyyyy longer lasting and just as good quality as this one . This is beautiful but expensive for no reason when there’s plenty like this and this only lasts 5 hours or so

As usual, I love gourmand scents. Stumbled upon this on another random fragrance content creator review. I ordered a sample, but was already sure I was going to love it by the notes listed. It was instant love and proceeded to purchase a full bottle. A very mature, grown, boozy and spicy chocolate scent. Decadent, although may be cloying to some people because as full-bodied as it is, it's still fairly sweet.

Performance-wise, it nearly matches up but it's not nearly as great as the other kings & queens of gourmand scents (e.g Angel's Share or Black Phantom. Maybe 10% under those) but still performs well even where I'm from, where it's summer and humid all year round.

I've had this fragrance for a few years now and still to this say I can not for the life of me decide if I like this or not! It pulls like a very Benzoin ambery tonka heavy on my skin. I absolutely love tonka and although I don't think tonka is in the notes that's what I'm picking up... this fragrance has some strange about it im not quite sure what it's is but there's something a note that I just don't give with idk it's weird 😐 and for the price I shouldn't feel this way. I probably should just declutter this because I NEVER wear it. I'll test it every now an again to see if I like it yet and each time I get either annoyed at the scent, bored at the scent, or I just don't want it on and to smell it anymore so I ALWAYS END UP WASHING IT OFF🙃

Anyone else feel this way about this fragrance? I also have venom incarnate and to me that is a synthetic mess. It smells like something ie buy at Ross, tj max , or target on discount. It's like we have fruity fragrance with caramel la capitale, mula mula the chronic rouge extreme all these are that but done right and you can find cheaper sometimes...idk I love the bottle but out of this house god on fire is probably my absolute favorite and lady white snake is a beautiful dolled up, innocent white tuberose would be an incredible wedding day scent. 😍
As for all the rest egh toss...
Especially pink boa man I waited and paid just to get that Russian exclusive and literally vodka and raspberry like it's. Cool unique concept but rendered unbearable unless you wnna smell like you have been parting all night lol
