It is a molecular, light, airy perfume — I'm unsure at what point the desert reveals. Close to MMW by Givenchy and their own Super Cedar.

Scandinavian Spa
Sampled this at Neiman Marcus. Soft projecting, very Scandinavian. Immediately hit with smooth creamy sandalwood and cedar. I didn’t get much rose or cardamom.
I only tested this on paper but it didn’t smell like anything new. Just a very pleasant sandalwood. With the name of dessert dawn I was expecting something more evocative of a sunrise coloring the painted dessert not a cedar sauna.

Warm and fresh
My first review - have mercy :D

I already had the Super Cedar from Byredo, which I always loved wearing. This fragrance is similar to Super Cedar (because of the cedar wood, of course), but I find it more exciting!
At first - as some have already described - you get a brief dill scare, but then it becomes really light and warmly woody, even a little creamy.

Lasts longer on my skin than I would have thought, as it doesn't "pop" like other fragrances that you can only get off your skin by scrubbing.

Understated but sexy - the fragrance was allowed to move in with me

Sandy..
As almost always with the brand, the fragrance is very, very weak and restrained as far as H+S is concerned. 30 minutes after spraying, I only smell the fragrance very faintly when I smell directly at the spray point. Sillage is as good as non-existent..

The fragrance actually smells quite good but absolutely not earth-shattering, kind of like sand and a lot of cedar wood. The rose is only very faintly perceptible in the background, a sweetish dark rose. The carrot seeds, which bring a strange earthy sweetness, somehow don't really fit in with the rest of the notes.

In general, the fragrance embodies its name well. Sandy and reflects a morning in the desert quite well. The only thing I don't like about it is the 30-60 minutes it lasts on my skin. After 60 minutes I no longer smell the fragrance at all ...

The sandy carrot surprise
I have to express my feelings about this new release!
I organized a sharing with this fragrance. As the fragrance was not yet on the market at the time, it was very brave. You could also say naive... But I'll take some courage! :D
The notes all appealed to me very much! Well, sharing full, bottle here
During my lunch break, I took some time to spray the new roommate on my arm with two sprays.
It starts with a really very dill-like sandalwood note. I was startled for a moment because it smelled really strongly of dill. A bad purchase? A blind one at that. Please don't!
The fragrance changes quickly: a very grown-up sweetness quickly joins in. Somehow it reminds me of a chewing gum sweetness - NO FEAR: ZERO SYNTHETICS! I can hardly describe it. I actually suspect it's the carrot seeds. The fragrance climbs from a 6 to an 8.5! Wonderful. And the best thing is: not only do I like it, but I've never actually smelled it like this before. It draws me back to the arm again and again to smell it.
Brave second: I spray myself for the second half of the day at work. Same scent progression. After about 15 minutes, it becomes woodier, more mature. This new kind of sweetness is joined by creamy components. But it remains permanently woody. Light woody. Sandalwood. And to use an Anglicism: very edgy and sophisticated.
It simply smells different!
Noble.
Now the surprise: I actually get compliments from three colleagues at work and one of them even wants a bottle! I hadn't expected that, as the fragrance is really unusual.
It certainly makes me feel really special, unique and simply very comfortable.
By the way: it was almost 25 degrees outside today and that was actually doable.
I see it on everyone all year round!
Brilliant new release.
