EDP · 1985 · men

Annick Goutal is a French niche house founded in 1976 by perfumer Annick Goutal, known for creating understated, refined fragrances that prioritize raw materials and classical composition over trend-chasing. Sables, launched in 1985, remains one of the house's most distinctive creations and represents the brand's approach to masculine scent.

Sables opens with immortelle and cinnamon, creating an immediate warm spice that's honeyed but restrained. The heart deepens with black tea and pepper, adding an herbal, slightly dry quality that prevents the fragrance from becoming too sweet. The base is anchored by sandalwood and amber, which provide a creamy, woody foundation that ties together the opening's spice and the middle's tea-driven sophistication. The overall composition is amber-woody with pronounced warm spice and creamy undertones, making it feel more introspective and grounded than flashy.

Sables works well for someone seeking a sophisticated amber fragrance with character, particularly in cooler months or evening wear. It's not a crowd-pleaser in the modern sense -- it rewards close attention rather than announcing itself. This fragrance aligns with The Mystic, The Homesteader, and The Sensualist.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Immortelle
Immortelle
Also known as helichrysum or everlasting flower, immortelle has one of the most distinctive smells in natural perfumery: warm, honeyed, and curry-like, with notes of maple syrup and chamomile. Its unusual, almost edible character makes it a polarising note that is unforgettable when used well. A signature of certain Provençal fragrances.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon
Sweet, warm, and instantly comforting, cinnamon bark has a familiar warmth that slides easily into oriental and gourmand fragrances. Used sparingly it adds a pleasant warmth; used heavily it can dominate. It has a slightly sharp, peppery facet alongside its sweetness that keeps it from being purely foodie.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Pepper
Pepper
The most essential spice note in perfumery, encompassing the dry, woody heat of black pepper and its many relatives. Pepper adds edge, lift, and a masculine vitality to fragrances without sweetness. It is the note that stops a composition from feeling comfortable and safe, adding a confident, assertive character.
Black Tea
Black Tea
Base · 3–12 hrs
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
