Sand Crystal

I stumbled upon OAKCHA through TikTok and decided to give it a try, especially since there weren’t many reviews available. Using one of their sales, I bought 10 perfumes to compare with the originals I already owned. Although I just received my package today and can’t speak to longevity yet, here are my initial thoughts.

First, the shipping took almost two weeks, which initially worried me, making me question the legitimacy of the site. However, when I reached out via email about the lack of tracking updates, their customer service responded quickly and provided the info I needed. My package arrived accurately, which eased my concerns.

Now, onto the scents. I tested them by spraying on paper strips and comparing them to the originals. I have to say, I was blown away by how similar most of them smell!

Sand Crystal – This one smells just like Jo Malone’s Wood Sage & Sea Salt, which is one of my favorites for layering. I’m so glad it delivered exactly what I was hoping for. If this last long on my skin, I will definitely be buying more. I sprayed it on my arm three times and literally feel like I’m in heaven. I keep closing my eyes when I smell it.

This was a blind buy, though I did take encouragement from YouTube fragrance reviewers. I love this fragrance more than I expected, though I can't say it was love at first sniff. I gave it a few sprays---on paper and then on my skin, gave it a few sniffs (after clearing the air) and thought, "Hm. interesting." and put it aside for a few days. But i did remember liking the dry down.

A few days later, I tried it again and could not get enough of it. I kept refreshing it during the day and just luxuriating in the scent. Definitely worth buying again! I'll probably have to get a back-up soon.

Thank you, Oakcha!
