Astrophil & Stella Sambalia Extrait
Description
Sambalia is a sparkling aquatic fruity-floral: marine notes, mandarin and lemon over magnolia, lily of the valley, jasmine sambac and rose, on blueberry, peach and sandalwood. Created by Michele Marin for Astrophil & Stella and released in 2026, it opens like a sea-air spritz, salty-fresh and zesty, before a soft white-floral heart, and dries down to a gently fruity, creamy base of blueberry, peach and sandalwood.
