What do reviewers say about Sable d'Orient and Ispahan?
Ylang-ylang and mandarin in the opening give it an immediate sweetness that might surprise those expecting something sharper. It's a soft, sweet embrace.Sable d'Orient
It smells like a time when fragrance was an event, not a background. Powdery, warm, aldehydes-forward, if you want quiet, look elsewhere. But if you want something that lingers and deepens.Ispahan
