Coconut/mandarine version of Bois Farine
The mix of coconut/mandarin turns unexpectedly to beeswax on me! And it is very welcome :) I can feel a little oilpaint in the background.
The vanilla is really berry sweet (a la Acqua e Zucchero) but a slight citrusy tartness shines through to keep the sweet reined in.
Dries down as sugary almond(read Bois Farine)perfectly balanced by creamy coconut and sunwarmed cypress.
After an hour it is so close to Bois Farine I decide I must get one of them! And then I guess Cadjmere wins the battle as it took a whole beautiful journey for it, to end up as Bois Farine. :)

A more airy and herbal Sables.
This is sooo high on my wishlist! To me it is very dry rooty, musty in a "empty wooden spice-cabinet feel" but more from the spiced up wood than from spice alone.
I do not get much if any leather, get more of a black tea with dried berries in it, cumin but pleasantly balanced and a tiny curry feel (Which I can imagine may project abit stronger on some, giving out the spice cabinet feel)
It has a totally different array of spices then say Piper Nigrum which I also adore. Fareb is way softer, warmer. Soft spices, no pepper or sauna eucalyptus feel. I do not know what Immortelle smells like though I get that there is something in Sables which is here as well, only more airy, dry, rooty, spiced tea-like. And no burnt sugar feel! Like tea-spiced dry roots warmed up and withered by the hot desert winds. I soo crave this!
But test before buy, some have read my love for it and only gotten a very boring uncreative spice cabinet on their skin. Well luckily for me, here it shines!
My only love from the Huiteme line so far, and I have tried a few.
