Pros & Cons

  • ✅ I’ve discovered recently that I enjoy Helichrysum in several fragrances that I use. ... It’s rich and fragrant, sweet and spicy, and best of all, long lasting.
  • ✅ This is a really nice spicy sweet unisex fragrance. Classic amber spicy oriental.
  • ✅ This smells like a happy memory to me, like late summer before uni starts. The immortelle is wonderfully blended with the cinnamon to lend it extra warmth, the black tea note gives the scent a bitter edge.
  • ✅ Despite a rocky start to my relationship with Sables, repeated testing ultimately won me over. ... I highly recommend Sables to anyone seeking bold and unconventional fragrances that won't overpower their surroundings.
  • ✅ This might be one of those rare instances where the recent formulation is better than the original. ... Sables delivers sunbeams of liquid gold worth of it.
  • ✅ I’ve discovered recently that I enjoy Helichrysum in several fragrances... It’s rich and fragrant, sweet and spicy, and best of all, long lasting.
  • ✅ Despite a rocky start... This versatile fragrance has become some of my favorites, suitable for year-round wear... I highly recommend Sables.
  • ❌ 1st wear: herbal and warm combination, slightly dualistic. ... moth bags with a bit of dusty dry patchouli ... not my cup of tea, i prefer sweeter scents and edgy in a different way.
  • ❌ Something about this smells like brut or Stetson or something else. Kinda old school.
  • ❌ I merely like immortelle. I prefer it as one note of many. Since it’s the star in Sables, I wasn’t overly fond of this.
  • ❌ The immortelle flower smells like maple syrup. ... Sables is a basically a soliflore. If you want to smell like maple syrup, you’ll like it; if you don’t, you won’t.
  • ❌ First impressions: this is not for the weak stomach, it may cause one to feel nauseous. It has a very strong sweet tobacco smell thanks to the immortelle. ... I couldn't tolerate more than one spray for the overpowering tobacco.
  • ❌ 1st wear: herbal and warm combination... moth bags with a bit of dusty dry patchouli... not my cup of tea
  • ❌ First impressions: this is not for the weak stomach, it may cause one to feel nauseous.
  • ❌ The immortelle is so heavy... just too much for me.
