Nabeel Sandal EDP in detail
Sandal EDP is made by Nabeel. Its strength is Eau de Parfum.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €131. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Elizabeth Taylor Passion but less than Initio Parfums Prives Mystic Experience and The Spirit Of Dubai Turath.
Sandal for work or evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. For evenings, Initio Parfums Prives Mystic Experience has more depth.
More from Nabeel
The house has 28 perfumes here, led by Antar, Acqua Di Nabeel and Crown Of Emirates.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. The Spirit Of Dubai Turath lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like amber and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is fall and winter. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer.
