About Jacques Zolty Sparkling Sand EDP
Sparkling Sand EDP is made by Jacques Zolty. Its strength is Eau de Parfum.
Its style
The strongest accord is herbal (100%), followed by leather and aromatic. You will probably like it if you enjoy herbal and leather smells and notes like leather and vanilla. Less obvious notes include lemon, apricot and amber. Perfume fans rate it 3.90 out of 5.
How long it lasts
This is a long lasting scent: expect about 6 to 9 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts about as long as Initio Parfums Prives Absolute Aphrodisiac and Lattafa Velvet Oud. Base notes like vanilla and Virginia cedar are the part that stays longest on the skin.

In Europe it costs about €174, depending on the bottle size and the shop. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Lattafa Velvet Oud and Nino Cerruti 1881 but less than Initio Parfums Prives Absolute Aphrodisiac.
