I am new to this site, so please excuse the lack of experience in the field. I am trying to find someone who can recreate a perfume for me that i have been wearing for many years, and i am on my last bottle. It's called Grain de Sable, and was made by the firm of Nicky Verfaillie in Paris. It was part of a threesome which included Grain de Sable, Grain de Folie, and Grain d'Amour. Have I tried other perfumes? Yes, of course I have. I have found NOTHING that lasts as long on my skin or smells so completely captivating on me. Is there anyone out there who can help me? sparky401

Really great men's fragrance. Quality is there and longevity is above average. Smells sophisticated and clean without being overly done or overpowering. I recommend this one 100%.

old thread but i have found minis of all three and luckily a used large bottle of grain de sable as well...As Luca Turin points out, it does have a melon note and am glad to have it in my collection..finding large bottle of grain de sable is almost like winning a lottery now..the one i found seems to be a tester so its not the same beautiful commercial bottle that was sold in the stores...it has a plastic cap and a built in spray mechanism ..top looks pretty ugly but bottom part is well made sculptured glass ..btw, Riannon did you get mini or full bottle?
