At this point I'm starting to think that Chloé cannot go wrong with anything that's a part of Atelier des Fleurs collection. I'm barely ever impressed by more than just one or two fragrances within a brand's portfolio (kudos to exceptions) but Atelier des Fleurs manages to impress me over and over nevertheless.
Sable Lavande is simply beautiful. Smooth, elegant, polished, classy. I often struggle with lavender note because it tends to be too aromatic in a bad, annoying way, but not with this one. The opening is definitely sharper and more herbal but after a minute or two, as it settles down and the (unlisted) coconut note comes through, it becomes smoother and creamier. It reminds me of a lavender scented body butter. Very comforting.
Projection and sillage are rather soft but it lasts surprisingly long, especially on clothes. I'd say around 8 hours.
