Review of Atelier des Fleurs: Sable Lavande by Marta Regina Jabłońska

The Atelier des Fleurs fragrances from the Mediterranean Essences collection are defined by their refinement. The notes intended to take center stage are presented in a polished manner, smooth and pleasurable, like a leisurely summer holiday. The same is true of Sable Lavande. Here, lavender avoids herbal sharpness; it feels natural, yet as if lazily warmed in an olive grove, its facets softened and gentler. Wearing this fragrance reminds me of the experience of Un Jardin à Cythère by Hermès—the same Mediterranean delight, with almost oily, sun-warmed nuances. Pure bliss. As the fragrance unfolds, it gains a little more character, becoming more balsamic and aromatic, with a fresh green vibrancy. Longevity on fabric lasts throughout the day, while the sillage remains moderate. The flacon, like the entire line, impresses with its quality and beautiful colors.
