About the Brand and the Release
Rose & Sandal by Mabra Parfums is an oil-based perfume released in 2024.
This unisex fragrance has a distinctive floral-woody character and was created for those who appreciate rich compositions and a noticeable presence on the skin.
Mabra Parfums is a young French niche house that appeared on the country’s perfume map in 2021.
The brand quickly made its mark with a bold approach and a desire to create fragrances with an individual signature. Rose & Sandal continues this direction by bringing together romantic rose and soft woody depth.
The Character of the Fragrance
The composition centers on a duo of Damask rose and sandalwood. The rose gives the fragrance its distinctive floral mood, while sandalwood adds a creamy woody base and a sense of serene sensuality.
Together, these accents create a cohesive, elegant and unexpectedly versatile profile.
Rose & Sandal belongs to the floral and woody fragrance families.
However, this is not a light, airy perfume but a rich oil-based release with a very powerful sillage. The fragrance can therefore linger in your personal space for a long time and remain noticeable even when applied sparingly.
Development and Wearability
A detailed breakdown of the notes across the top, middle and base stages has not been provided for this fragrance.
The known notes — Damask rose and sandalwood — are perceived as a unified rosy-woody accord in which floral expressiveness meets the warm depth of wood.
Its unisex positioning makes Rose & Sandal suitable for both women and men: on some skin it may smell softer and more floral, while on other skin it can feel denser, warmer and woodier.
Thanks to its intense sillage, the fragrance is especially suitable for cool weather, evenings, meetings and occasions when you want to emphasize your individuality.
No precise recommendation for the number of applications on skin or clothing is provided in the database.
With an oil-based perfume and very powerful sillage, it is sensible to start with a minimal amount and assess its development gradually. When applying it to fabric, take the composition’s longevity and the delicacy of the material into account.
The Perfumer and the Style of the Composition
The fragrance was created by Brahim Mohamed.
In Rose & Sandal, his work unfolds through a concise idea: rather than overloading the scent with numerous nuances, it focuses attention on the contrast between velvety rose and noble sandalwood.
This composition may appeal to niche fragrance enthusiasts looking for more than just a floral scent — a dense, long-trailing and gender-neutral perfume with a clear character.
To explore a direction with a similar mood, consider Prissana Vallée Des Roses, and then compare how the rose theme sounds in different perfumery interpretations.
