About this fragrance

Dubai at dusk, raspberry and white florals over warm sand.

Scarlet Sands is what happens when Jordi Fernandez captures a Dubai sunset for Ex Nihilo. Born a Dubai exclusive, it pairs a juicy raspberry and mandarin opening with luminous white florals and a warm amber-vanilla base, the fiery red glow of sky meeting sand.

It opens with a sparkling burst of raspberry and mandarin, sweet and almost candied. Then jasmine, freesia, and orange blossom bring an elegant white-floral heart, before akigalawood, amber, and vanilla ground it in warm, creamy depth. Expect 6 to 9 hours on skin with moderate to strong projection, richer and denser than the airy opening suggests.

Scarlet Sands is a Dubai exclusive that trades hands well above list, often over $700 for the 100ml. Sample it before you go hunting for a bottle.

New to this scent? Start with 2ml. It's enough to wear it several times and see how it develops on your skin.

Already love it? 5ml is the best value per wear and fits in a pocket or bag.

Daily signature? 10ml gives you a month or more of regular wear for a fraction of the full bottle.
