Stupendous
It takes a lot to positively rate a perfume that costs 600 dollars. Without going into the economics of a perfume release and how much of the cost is the juice and how much everything else, I can say that as a scent, Sable Fume is superb. The whole composition vibrates with quality. For me, it is impossible to isolate notes here as they just meld together in a graceful cacophony of pleasure. The smoke is indispensable and is weaves itself subtly through the sweeter aspects of the perfume. Don't think of iris when you try this: it is all about incense and the candied iris is very much hidden in the background. The overall effect is of richness. I would say the perfume is special but not so much that it is unwearable. There are some aspects which hearken back to other Armani incense scents but this is just different enough to make the distinction interesting. Out of the two Sables, this one is by far the best.
