Aqaba launched Sands in 2007 — and it was a brilliant move. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the east and wood families. Perfumer Vito Lenoci is the author behind this composition. Concentration — eau de parfum: exactly what it needs to be.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Sands is built as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The style of Aqaba is evident in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum sets the right density and pace of development.

The olfactory framework is driven by these accords: Balsamic, Floral, Wood and Powdery forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The gender direction is feminine, which clarifies the composition character.

In the first seconds you sense petal-airy opening notes: Chamomile, Geranium and Iris.

In the heart you notice Cardamom and Coriander keeping a warm-spicy direction.

At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Floral, Spicy, Balsamic and Whiteflower. The palette also extends to Wood and Gourmet. At family level the fragrance belongs to East and Wood.

In summary Sands holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best understood in wear.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
