What does Sable smell like?

Orange, mandarin orange and coriander seed open bright, softened by whisky, while aniseed and tonka bean bring sweetness to the heart. The base of vanilla, benzoin and patchouli dries down into a powdery, creamy, resinous warmth with a faintly smoky, woody edge.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out as the occasions, and most read it as masculine. Amouage Lustre and Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka (Cologne Intense) have a close profile.
