Sand & Sable by Coty, 1983

This is some stinky stuff. Syrupy sweet tuberose and gardenia mixed up with some type of plastic and a dash of that dreaded "cat pee" note that sends me running. But, for some reason, a lot of men comment on this being their favorite fragrance. That usually tells me right off the bat we are not going to have anything in common.

I love white florals so I wanted to try this one. No way. There was a funky synthetic note that smelled like plastic. Yuck!

Really love it. It's both casual and elegant, cozy as it is bold, girly as it is womanly, simplistic as it is complex. I love tuberose and gardenia. I love summery white floral scents in general. They seem to react well to my skin chemistry. I wish this had more projection and longevity but I suppose, sometimes...you get what you pay for. It's still a magnificent scent and worth the purchase. I've been wearing it since my late teens and it'll always have a special place in my heart. Connected to it are memories and nostalgia....just as it makes me look forward to the future. I'll always keep some on hand. At it's price..I certainly can afford to.

Just had to tell you how great this is. These days I see more rock star pictures on diplay where great perfumes use to be.I can't find Sand & Sable in the Arkansas stores these days. What's up?? I may not be a rrock star, but plenty of men have told me how good this smells. Last time I checked, that picture on the card board box doesn't smell so good. Please put it back on the shelves.

Bah, nasty. I smell watermelon, aldehydes, and a faint banana-type note. One of a few fragrances I actually rushed to the sink to wash off immediately.

One of my very first scents from high school. I love the way it smells, but it is a bit strong . . . a little dab will do ya! My husband loves it, so I still buy it from time to time for "romantic" evenings. Sand & Sable will always have a special place in my heart.

This is such a wonderful white flower scent- sexy yet subtle- and so reasonably priced. Coty deserves a great deal of credit for creating such a high quality, affordable fragrance-

Best Drugstore perfume ever. For some reason the first time I smelled Michael Kors I thought of this one...sorry Michael

I like this, but, well, I smell like suntan lotion! It smells flowery on others, but on me I smell like Hawaiian Tropic. I picture a day at the beach lying out in the sun on the sand with the waves crashing ashore drinking a pina colada..................Pretty on others, but not on me!

This smells exactly like a car air freshener my friend used to hang on the rear view mirror of her 1980's Pontiac Sunbird! Because of that association, I really can't imagine wearing it as a perfume. The only thing I can say is it's not completely offensive.
