Timeless Sands

Timeless Sands is a warm, sweet woody scent from the French brand The Woods Collection, released in 2017 and worn by anyone. Gourmand is how everyone describes it, and about half also find it spicy, woody, musky, floral or citrusy, which suggests a balanced composition with several things going on at once.

Bergamot opens it with a bright, slightly bitter citrus, and coriander adds a warm, lemony, lightly peppery spice behind it. Orange blossom is the heart, sweet, honeyed and slightly waxy, and it is paired with cedar, whose dry, pencil-like wood keeps the flower from becoming too lush. The base is soft and sweet: vanilla and tonka bean give a creamy, almond-tinged warmth, and ambrette, a plant-derived musk, adds a soft, slightly fruity, skin-like finish that holds everything close rather than letting it project loudly.

It is a scent for cooler weather and evenings, worn by anyone who likes sweet woods with orange blossom and a musky, comfortable finish.
