I don't know what I thought Sadanne was going to smell like, but I wasn't anticipating this. On my skin Sadanne smells like a strawberry margarita from a chain restaurant: salt, a heavily sugared "strawberry" elixir and the slightly smoked funk factor from a mass market gold tequila. It's fun to wear and in sillage reminds me a lot of a drug store gummy bear body spray I had a long time ago. Sadanne is very linear like all Slumberhouses but easier to wear than most because the volume is turned way down as compared to their other offerings. Probably the closest thing to a crowd pleaser type scent that Slumberhouse has to offer.
The morning after, all that remains on my skin is a rather tenacious smokey campfire note. I'm sure I'll get downvoted by the Slumberhouse devotees for saying this but it appears that Sadanne (2014) is actually an inverted version of Imaginary Authors' Cape Heartache (2013): Sadanne is long on the strawberry and short on the smoked woods as opposed to IACH's quick burst strawberry opening and long smokey dry down. Weird how two indie perfumers in the same town explored the same highly specific concept of salted strawberries over smoked woods at roughly the same time.
