The Fragrance's Character and Release History
My Perfumes Intense Sandal is a rich perfume extract released by the My Perfumes brand in 2023.
The fragrance is part of the Signature Series Collection and continues the modern tradition of Arabic perfumery, where richness, a pronounced sillage, and refined woody-amber accords are highly valued.
The name Intense Sandal perfectly conveys its mood: sandalwood is the central focus of the composition, surrounded by spices, soft gourmand nuances, leather, and musk.
This is not a light everyday fragrance, but a noticeable and charismatic perfume for those who enjoy a warm, deep, and pronounced scent.
Olfactive Profile
The perfume belongs to the fougère and woody families, but its character unfolds more broadly, combining amber, fruity, gourmand, leathery, musky, spicy, white-floral, and woody nuances.
This combination makes the composition multilayered: the spicy opening gradually softens with creamy and fruity undertones, while the drydown becomes warmer, smoother, and more sensual.
In the first minutes, black pepper, cinnamon, milk, and ylang-ylang create a contrast between sharp spiciness, creamy softness, and a delicate floral creaminess.
As the fragrance develops, it becomes more expansive: clove and raspberry add a tangy-sweet facet, while sandalwood and light woods form its distinctive woody framework.
The base is especially expressive and long-lasting. Amber gives the composition a warm glow, the leather accord adds depth, while white musk and musk make the sillage softer, denser, and more skin-like.
As a result, Intense Sandal maintains a balance between spicy energy, creamy texture, and dark woody sensuality.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
My Perfumes Intense Sandal is presented as a unisex fragrance, so it can be chosen by both women and men.
On women's skin, it can emphasize warm spiciness, creaminess, and fruity softness, while on men's skin, it may highlight woody, leathery, and amber nuances.
However, the final development always depends on skin temperature, weather, and individual skin chemistry.
Its very strong sillage makes this perfume particularly suitable for cooler seasons, evenings, formal occasions, and situations when you want to make an impression.
For the office or a small enclosed space, the fragrance should be applied with restraint.
There is no information about the recommended amount to apply to skin or clothing, so it is sensible to start with a minimal number of sprays and assess the intensity after a few minutes.
Concentration and Scent Characteristics
Intense Sandal is presented in the “Perfume (Extract)” concentration. This format suits its rich character and helps the composition last for a long time on skin and clothing.
Information about other concentrations of this fragrance is not available in the database, so it is impossible to compare it with Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum versions.
The perfumer behind this release is also not specified.
At the same time, the fragrance's style fits perfectly into the My Perfumes aesthetic: its oriental richness is presented in a modern way through a combination of polished sandalwood, spices, musk, and soft amber.
As a result, the perfume is perceived not simply as a sweet oriental composition, but as an expressive woody-spicy creation with a distinctive character.
Similar Fragrances
Those interested in rich oriental compositions with woody, amber, and spicy nuances should take a look at The Spirit of Dubai Turath.
For comparison, Nabeel Ashjan and The Spirit of Dubai Durra are also worth considering. They have different accents and development dynamics, but share a similar fondness for an expressive, warm, and noticeable scent.
