Love love love. A beautiful sunny lemon-creme floral that’s true to a lemon grove and not a candy shop. Lemon blossom is just done so perfectly here, and the coconut and vanilla add creaminess without sweetness.

I’m not familiar with Phaedon fragrances and I chose this one to start exploring the house, because it’s by Pierre Guillaume and I love how this handsome nose manages to get a tropical, escapist twist out of every fragrance he makes.
No exception here, where tropicality is allegedly stated in the name itself, Sable&Soleil (Sand&Sun).
The overall impression is of a soft aromatic with a floral accord. The base of sandalwood and jasmin provide some body for the vanilla-coconut heart.
The coconut effect is similar to Virgin Island Water: watery and transparent instead of gourmand and meaty.
In the dry down the aromatic aspects becomes more and more prominent, revealing a semi-bitter geranium and spice accord.
I sense the notes list isn’t true to the ones I smell. I definitely smell an ozonic-salty note, plus the spicy, at times pungent notes, and a herbal vibe that are not listed.

Ok. The only coconut I get it’s the opening . After first 20 min it turns into great fresh aquatic floral. In a same way Reflection does. They r distant cousins for sure not clones.
Lasting good 8 hours on me

Creamy softness with a floral touch. Vanilla, coconut and the lemon blossom chord are likely to be responsible for this first impression, supported by sandalwood and jasmin.
The coconut is rather tuned down, fortunately, and mingles gently with the other chords. To my nose coconut often tends to trample down other notes if used carelessly, but in the case of Sable & Soleil it is balanced perfectly.
In the dry down Sable & Soleil turns more aromatic and florals are replaced by gentle strokes of geranium and tonka.
Throughout its phases Sable and Soleil is warm and relaxed. Nothing special happens, no surprises, just like a lazy hot summer day.

Fresh floral, citrus, and coconut.
It begins with an oily citrus marine salt blend, and turns into a slightly milky coconut concoction.
I never thought that it would turn good, or even would like a fragrance from Phaedon, but this one is good! it’s not groundbreaking and superbly amazing, but it’s fairly good and nicely blended, and the only drawback is the marine effect in it! The salty sea foam notes that mingled in. I Don’t like sea salt, aqua, and sea foam notes already so this will be the drawback.

Sable & Soleil (Sand & Sun) by Pierre Guillaume for PhaedonThis scent opens deliciously with a sweet citrus note, some creamy coconut, accompanied by sparkling lemony green notes (Geranium and lemon blossom?). It’s sweeter than Creed’s “Virgin Island Water” (which I LOVE and wore the whole summer), as it doesn’t have the lime and rum notes of the latter. Some described “Sable & Soleil” as “salty-white floral”, but I don’t get saltiness or even a sand note as you might think according to the name, not as for example in Costarela (Carner Barcelona).
What I get after a few minutes is jasmine, vanilla and tonca bean, but still blended with something powdery and lemony… after ca. 15 minutes, the vanilla notes get stronger and a milky, rich sandalwood note emerges. In the final dry-down, it smells like a better suntan lotion, but not cloying as in typical cheap coconut suntan lotions which stick to your skin like melted cotton candy (candy floss). It’s more like a modest, tender and sophisticated version of suntan lotion.
Don’t expect much depth though, after it reached the vanilla-suntan-lotion-stage, it pretty much stays that way (at least for my nose). I also recommend wearing it before buying it full size (get a sample)… it smells differently when your nose catches wafts of it all the time as when you just spray a small amount on your hand or wrist. If you are not used to vanilla / coconut it might get a little annoying.
Sillage and longevity are both soft to moderate for me, I can smell it well the first two hours on myself, others not as much. Might also turn out more salty or musky on a men’s skin than on a woman’s skin.Conclusion: A mouthwatering scent for easy summer and holiday times, when you forget which day of the week it is – it’s only the sea, the sun and you which matters, while you are lying in the sand on the beach, dozing off, being lightly sunburned, carefree and tired from doing nothing. And a scent which reminds me of the song “Sonnencremekuesse” (in a bad translation: “Suntan lotion kisses”, by Wise Guys). Lovely!
