SmokyWhat does Sables smell like?
It opens with mandarin orange and bergamot, then moves into oakmoss, Madagascan pepper and jasmine at the heart. The base brings Corsican immortelle, vanilla, Indian sandalwood and amber, settling into a resinous, sweet and earthy finish.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, then winter, with leisure and evening wear leading. Most read it as masculine, and some as classic. Yves Saint Laurent Opium (Eau de Parfum) and Jovoy Psychédélique have a close profile.
