Annick Goutal Sables EDP. Released in 1985. Created by Annick Goutal. This is an eau de parfum.
Notes include immortelle, cinnamon, pepper, black tea, sandalwood and amber.
From the brand - "Sables evokes the heat of a Corsican summer, where the wind crosses the scrubland before skimming the dunes."
Parfumo - "...Sables follows a classical drydown arc: top, heart, basenotes...."
Parfumo - "...A true piece of art, but still, very wearable and comforting like a warm coat...."
Parfumo - "...Fortunately, Sables is outstanding, incredibly desirable on a man and something I wouldn't mind wearing myself...."
Immortelle with accents of tea and black pepper. Slighly boozy and herbal in the opening.I don't detect noticeable sandalwood. The base is ambery/maple syrupy sweet, but not sticky or cloying. More masculine than feminine but falls in the unisex range. Definitely has an Eastern vibe. Might appeal to tobacco lovers as well. Great for cool weather.
Here is a quote from "Perfumes: The Guide" (Turin/Sanchez) "...an object lesson in the use of the difficult burnt-sugar/fenugreek note of immortelle..." Sables has longevity, originality; it stays close to your body a long time. The dry-down is not as sweet as the top notes, and the transition is smooth and beguiling. According to Turin, Goutal set the striking scent of immortelle on a conventional amber base, and that the current formulation is drier than the original and "...all the better for it".
