Sand & Sable

I can go for long periods of time without wearing perfume at all, but when I do, I almost always reach for this. Sand & Sable by Coty. It's an oldie, but a goodie. The box says it's "a sensual and lingering floral bouquet of gardenia, tuberose, jasmine, and rose." I'm not a professional sniffer, so I'm not going to dispute any of that (and I'm not even going to discuss the sensual part). But, I think it smells like summer, going to the beach, coconuts and vanilla, and suntan lotion. It smells fresh, clean, and fun. It's a great price - $23.86 at Walmart for a 2 oz. bottle of cologne spray. I know it's not fancy, but I like it. But if you do want fancy, I read that Michael by Michael Kors (Dillards, $70, 1.7 oz eau de parfum) also has a fresh "reminds me of Hawaii" scent. The last time I was at a beach, it was the Jersey shore, and it was just for a day. A very short day. Since then I've been dreaming of a beach vacation. At least a long weekend to Gulf Shores. Something. Anything. And then I start thinking about gas prices. Oh well, I'll just spray on some Sand & Sable and keep dreaming.
