Our verdict on Sables: Acquired

Sables is a divisive but iconic amber spicy fragrance from Goutal. Expect an extremely potent hit of immortelle, often described as maple syrup, curry, or even pickles, that you'll either adore or recoil from.

About

This amber spicy marvel opens with a bold, almost overwhelming blast of immortelle, a note that conjures images of sweet, dry hay or spiced maple syrup, enriched by warm cinnamon. As it develops, a dry, slightly bitter black tea note emerges, underpinned by a hint of pepper. The dry-down reveals a rich, resinous amber with creamy sandalwood, bringing warmth and depth to the persistent herbal sweetness.
