Woo Hoo Crew,
More NEW stuff from my perfumer crush Pierre Guillaume. This arrived today and I couldn’t wait to get it on my skin!!
Here’s some more Pierre Perfume Porn to get you in the mood….
Sable & Soleil by Phaedon 2016
Sable & Soleil by Pierre Guillaume
Fragrantica gives these featured accords:
Lemon blossom, jasmine, African geranium, coconut milk, sandalwood, vanilla, tonka bean, white musk
Salt. Driest opening for a fragrance I ever smelled. Salt and then some melon, a little oily, seaside breeze, hot day.
Jasmine and citrus over the driest ache in my throat. It’s like the ache of yearning. Yearning for something just out of reach but in your sights. Awkward lactones create a shadowed, shady counterpoint that gives the crisp sea breeze a depth. Maybe a wander through the carpark by the beach, awaiting the arrival of your friends or even an ice cream from the truck, yes there is a metallic edge.
Briny. That’s the word I’m looking for. Briny, lightly sunburned, happy and tired. Fresh sea water and healthy bodies.
Sable & Soleil is not what I was expecting. If you think that you’ll be getting a Guerlain Lys Solea, a Jil Sander Sun or a Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess then think again. They are pretty and vibrant. Pierre Guillaume has created a mood and depth that is lovely but slightly dark. Compelling.

Hi Portia,
I don’t know why, but I haven’t bought samples in ages. Nothing’s moved me that much, I guess. But your delicious review has me salivating to try this particular Phaedon – a brand I’ve neither owned nor sampled. (And it wasn’t just the photo that did it!) Email follower here – but win or lose, I’ll definitely be sampling this one. Thanks Portia.

I follow via email. I love the briny scent and I love that word-briny! I wish I could smell the briny sea all day long. But alas, I live too far away from that magical place that feels like home in my home. Your post has me singing the song from Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
Bobbing along, singing a song
On the bottom of the beautiful briny
Shimmering shiny, beautiful briny sea. ??

Moody with depth is good. In perfume and men. I follow by email and, I dunno, some kind of feed? Never tried any Phaedon, but I’ve been intrigued for a while, Cendres de Thé kinda grabbed my attention, but I’ve yet to sniff it.

I follow APJ through my email. I have tried Tabac Rouge and consider it to be an excellent tobacco fragrance that’s a bit easier to tolerate than the much more well known Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille.

Following now via email (but I’ve been a fan of APJ for a looong time!).
A moody, briny scent that evokes the seaside? I’m so ready! Not a huge fan of the typical coconut suntan lotion type summer scents… becsuse they smell like coconut suntan lotion, and that yellow tree-shaped air freshener that hangs from the rear-view mirror in too many cars and screams “COCONUT!” ** shudder **
Never tried anything from this line, but I do like and admire PG’s other creations.

I follow by email. I haven’t tried anything from Phaeton, but this one sounds like me. Grew up on a barrier island surrounded by beautiful beaches, but I could be found only in the shade: up a tree or hiding in the palmettos. Thanks for the draw.

Pierre again? You are spoiling us, Portia!
I am not complaining, not at all!!!
But I have tried only Tabac Rouge from Phaedon range. I loved its sultry honey, but I think I can wear it on very specific occasions an in particular weather – date night in the winter, for instance.
Well, I love all the salties I have tried, and I am eager to had my hands on Sable & Soleil!
Thanks for the chance!
I follow by FB, email and on Google +

Well, Portia, I must be feeling in a very nourish mood because your review has conjured for me “Suddenly Last Summer” and I can’t get the scene that gorgeous Liz Taylor describes out of my mind ….. not something that the equally gorgeous Pierre would have meant, I’m sure! But then – why not? Perfume is magic and a portal to imagination …. I am intrigued by this as it sounds so very different.
I get your emails!
