IXXI Or des Sables is a true hymn to the sun, the beach, and carefree relaxation.
Launched in 2015 by the French brand IXXI, this women's eau de parfum instantly transports you to a sandy shore enveloped in a citrus-floral trail.
Belonging to the Citrus and Floral fragrance families, its very strong trail makes it unforgettable.
“Golden Sands” is how the name translates, and it perfectly captures the essence: a fragrance that evokes the feeling of warm sand beneath your feet, a gentle sea breeze, and weightlessness.
IXXI, renowned for its natural cosmetics, created a composition that sounds like the promise of a perfect holiday.
Each spray fills you with the energy of the sun and the joy of life, lifting your spirits even on a grey day.
From the very first seconds, the fragrance welcomes you with sparkling citrus notes: bergamot and mandarin create an invigorating, juicy opening.
Then, intoxicating white flowers bloom at the heart: jasmine and exotic tiare lend the composition sensuality and a subtle spiciness.
A base of creamy coconut and delicate vanilla leaves a warm, gently sweet trail that you will want to breathe in again and again.
This fragrance is the perfect choice for confident, cheerful women who love to stand out and appreciate quality.
Or des Sables unfolds beautifully in summer and warm climates, yet its vibrant, positive character can warm you up in winter too.
An excellent option for daytime wear or a romantic date—it certainly will not go unnoticed.
If you enjoy IXXI Or des Sables, take a look at Guerlain Terracotta Le Parfum, which also embodies the spirit of a holiday.
A more playful and passionate option is Cacharel Amor Amor Tentation, while Armand Basi Scent of Kiss My Heart continues the delicate coconut-floral theme.
IXXI is a French brand specialising in natural cosmetics and perfumery. Despite its small collection, each fragrance stands out for its well-crafted composition and longevity.
