Much like Fougeres Marine, I perceive Sandflowers as more minty than obviously marine, though it has a dry, mineralic saltiness combined with herbal notes reminding me of Miller Harris' Fleurs de Sel. To my mind, Sandflowers is pretty much an inferior Fleurs de Sel, with an added cool, campherous mint note that I'm not particularly fond of. If you're a fan of mint and prefer fragrances with a sort of transparent "fresh air" feeling to the sunny, earthy warmth of Fleurs de Sel, you might very well appreciate it more than I do.

SandFlowers: Nothing to write home about. smells very dry yet has some life..maybe the smell cactus or some flower that im not familiar of. all that associations with Sand is true and it does evoke an image of shrubs in between sand on a very hot sunny day. there is something about the sillage though...it makes you come back to this one, somethign mesmerising in there...although i dont find it spectacular enuff to warrant a full bottle...20ml? yes, definitely.

i would give it a nuetral for now...maybe this one would grow on me in time...

Reminds me of a beach. It's a marine scent, but in a beachier sense. It's not got the usual salty air note, but more of a kelp or seawater quality to it, with some light floral notes. It really does remind me of the beaches in So. California. An interesting take on an oceanic scent. Wears close to the skin and longevity is good, especially for a “marine” scent. Not sure I'd want to wear it, but intellectually, it is an interesting scent...
