  |  Whether you enjoy Sables will depend entirely upon how much you like immortelle. This is because 1) immortelle is a Godzilla note that tends to trample any accord it’s used with, and 2) Sables screams like Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween. (In case you haven’t experienced it, immortelle smells like gallons of maple syrup and a side of bacon.) Try before you buy. 19 October 2008 |

|  Sables is unlike anything else I’ve tried and I give it credit for that. It starts out with a note suggestive of quality brandy and then on to the main feature: maple syrup over sand! It smells better than it sounds and unless you hate sweet scents, it is worth a try. Immortelle is a key note here and since trying Sables it is one I have looked for in other fragrances as well. Great longevity. I can’t see myself buying a bottle, but I could go for this perhaps 3 or 4 times a year. 19 October 2008 |
  |  i wanted to love this one but after the first spritz it was just sickly sweet it almost made me sick and the longivity is exellent so no washing it of.but if you come by it you should try it because at least it's original en maybe my skin chemistry isn't right for this one04 October 2008 |

| Wow, first reaction and a stong one at that was of a very good brand of brandy! Really thick, caramelized brandy. Then Sables settles into a wonderful, sweet and woody fragrance with bouts of floral green notes that lasts for hours. Thick and gooey like I'd expect from a Serge Lutens fragrance. This stuff is with you forever! This is good and strong and in your face... but the green notes put me off. 29 September 2008 |
 | Indeed, the opening is very hars and even offputting, but the drydown is truly exceptional. Sweet, thick and warm, smells a lot like maple syrup. (it`s damn true, I have even made a side by side test!) Groundbraking stuff because of the gourmand qualities. Could also be seen as a prototype for many Lutens`s creation. Lasts longer than any other scent I know, it`s quite unisex too, and it definitely deserves every single bit of my apprecition. 12 September 2008 |

| My husband has been wearing this every day, exclusively, for something like two decades, so it's impossible for me to be objective about it. (Lately I've been getting him to sniff other things. His new fave -- Eau Noire!) That said, I do adore this, though I agree it never truly washes off and is pretty hard to detect without nose to skin contact. Still, it's odd and yummy and makes me want to keep figuring out how maple syrup and kelp can possibly smell so compatible. I don't get the "explosive" beginning on him. Maybe chemistry is a big factor here -- his own smell can be sort of darkly burnt-leaf-ish and the Eau Noire works perfectly well on him too. 27 July 2008 |
