Scent Development and Character
A spicy amber-woody fragrance built around the wild immortelle of Corsica, brightened by citrus and deepened with woods and moss. It opens with luminous bergamot and mandarin, quickly warmed by jasmine and black pepper over an earthy oakmoss, then settles into a sun-baked blend of immortelle, creamy sandalwood and ambery warmth reminiscent of hot dunes and salty air.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
Best for cooler weather and contemplative moments: evening walks, quiet dinners, or days when you want a distinctive, sun-drenched warmth that lasts. Best suited to autumn and winter wear; can work on cool spring days but may feel heavy in high summer heat. Sillage is Moderate to strong sillage; the scent projects clearly around the wearer without becoming overpowering if applied with care. Longevity is Long-lasting on skin, often persisting well into the day or evening with a noticeable drydown of immortelle, woods and amber.
Perfumer and Bottle
Released in 1985, this is presented as Eau de Parfum and credited to Annick Goutal. Faceted clear glass bottle in the contemporary Goutal style, with a gold-toned ribbed cap and simple label bearing the name Sables and the Goutal logo.
