Sable & Soleil Eau de Parfum

With the official start of summer comes a scent that bottles the sun like no other. Sable & Soleil, the latest from Pierre Guillaume's Phaedon line, is indeed a marine floral, but one with a uniquely dark, salty appeal that conjures images of unpopulated coastlines and rocky coves far off the beaten path, accessible only to sun-seekers with a taste for adventure. Sable & Soleil opens stark, dry and salty, with gentle but hearty white florals that project both beauty, but also isolation. As a creamy blend of coconut milk and sandalwood assert themselves, you allow yourself the relaxation that comes from knowing you're the only person for miles around, enjoying a private hideaway where nobody will ever find you. Smooth vanilla, tonka and musk complete the serene effect, comforting but slightly austere, brilliantly bright but never posh. For those who prefer their vacations far away from the masses, Sable & Soleil is your summer fragrance.
