  |  I get a brutal olfactory assault from the opening of Sables. It lasts for over an hour before the fragrance settles down to an excellent linear immortelle note. I have no idea what component in the fragrance causes this reaction, and I’m sure most other people don’t get this abrasive note, because no one would buy it if they did. It’s about the same discordant note that I pick up from Dior’s Eau Noir. When this note finally dissipates, it’s a very good fragrance, but it is not good enough to make up for that hour of misery. This is so not my usual experience with Annick Goutal’s wonderful fragrances. Sables? No thank you—not in this lifetime.07 October 2006 |
 | One of those scents in which I just cannot find any beauty. Thick, syrupy, sweet and bitter at the same time, it has an overwhelming herbal bitterness to the topnotes. That seems to be a Goutal signature - a very harsh, sharp, bitter opening. Sad part is, I don't like the way Sables dries down either. Too sweet, too bizarre, like an herbal maple syrup. Not as much sillage as the topnotes would suggest, though it does last a long, painful time. By the way, it shares the immortelle with Eau Noire, and maybe even a weird cacophonic character; I find both to border on disgusting. As for Goutal...I have yet to find one that I like. 29 July 2006 |
  | I dont understand the many comparisons between this and Dior's Eau Noire, they smell absolutley nothing alike. This smells something like dry pastries and herbs and some sweet spices as well but I dont like the mixture of it at all. smells like someone's spice cupboard at home. just all mixed up 26 April 2006 |
