Sable Lavande

If you rule this out thinking you don't like lavender, think again. Sable Lavande truly accomplishes a reimagined, infinitely wearable lavender, yes still with that delicate powdery/herbaceous floral side to it but here it is much warmer, more textured and almost glowing, which isn't easy to accomplish with such an identifiable dominant note. Opening with a gentle vibrancy, there's almost an awakening and spirited side to this, followed by the creamy soothing influx of fresh but calming cleanliness from lavender and clary sage, its meditative and blissful but not overwhelmingly or stereotypically lavender. Mellowing into a musky, soft wood base, there is so much texture and depth to this fragrance and it really is reminiscent of sun soaked lavender fields in the serenity of a summer breeze. All four of the new releases from the Chloe Atelier des Fleurs Mediterranean Essences line have really captivated me and I think will be well worn throughout the next few seasons.

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.

This perfume is a beautifully composed take on lavender that leans far away from anything sharp or medicinal. It opens with a soft, airy lavender that feels immediately comforting—more like a luxurious spa atmosphere than a traditional aromatic scent. The lavender here is creamy, soft and smooth, almost wrapped in a subtle milky softness that makes it feel very refined and wearable. As it develops, gentle woody nuances start to emerge, adding depth and structure without overpowering the composition. Overall, it gives a calming, cocooning effect—clean, elegant, and quietly luxurious. It’s the kind of scent that feels effortless yet sophisticated, perfect if you’re drawn to fragrances that soothe rather than project loudly. This is definitely in my top 3 favorite lavender scents for life and in my opinion another banger from Chloe's Atelier des Fleurs line!

Sable Lavande is so beautiful to me. I get the lavender on my skin and there’s something fresh and a little camphorous in it. The camphor may be from the lavender itself or perhaps from a eucalyptus or wild sage note I am detecting (though both herbs are not on notes pyramid). In any case, this smells clean and fresh like a luxury aromatherapy spa in the best way possible. The Amboxan always give a little citrus tang on my skin — and this one is no different. I don’t get a lot of woods, but maybe just a soft undercurrent beneath the surface. Something about this is giving me a sunny vibe and plant-scented air. Truly like the atmosphere and energy in the Mediterranean. This is a favourite! I have the 50 ml, but now thinking of getting the 150 ml so I don’t ever run out for a long time. I hope they don’t ever discontinue this Mediterranean Edition line!

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING! I was so blown away with how beautiful this scent is! The name is a bit misleading because I would describe this as more of a woody aromatic scent than a floral heavy scent. It’s creamy, it’s lightly musky, and in my opinion it’s office friendly. The lavender is absolute perfection mixed with the woody notes. This is herbal and spa-like. Fresh and clean and soothing. I feel like it’s a non-offensive scent with a perfect balance of woods, musk, and floral notes. It’s unisex, or perhaps ever so slightly feminine leaning but a man could also pull this off. I just ordered a full bottle after trying it out from a split. It’s just so good!!

Actively avoided spraying the sample bottle of this for weeks, as past experience of lavender scents weren’t terribly compelling. When I did, however, was utterly captivated. The opening of this is so different from the medicinal smell I associate with Lavender, but rather a green, milky and ultimately woody fragrance that brings to mind fig trees, in the Mediterranean warmth. Whilst a deeply personal and intimate scent, I’m struck by how long this remains on my skin and radiates from my clothing for days after. I’ve taken the plunge and purchased 150ml bottle. This is destined to be my go to for spring and summer.

This one genuinely surprised me as I'm not typically a fan of lavender (it reminds me of yoga mat cleaning spray and anti-depressant aromatherapy, lol). This is smooth, zero humidity, warm, ambery woods with a very round, soft, gentle, almost creamy lavender. Musky skin scent + warm dry woods tinged with a smoooooth lavender. It's incredibly comforting, I keep smelling the paper I sprayed it on, even hours later. It's captivating. Not sure if I'm imagining this but I get a bit of a figgy quality as well.

I blind bought this because 1) I trust Quentin Bisch 😅 2) usually I like lavender scents 3) love other scents from Chloe. Luckily, this was a total success! It’s not a typical lavender scents, it’s more green, smooth and almost milky. If I didn’t know it’s a lavender scents I would have guessed it’s a fig perfume, but the green leafy fig. Very green, fresh but in a smooth way. Perfect for spring! I also found it layers well with many other scents. I find the longevity good.

This is really beautiful. Probably the best lavender I have ever smelled in a perfume. And yes - this is really about the lavender, the fig is prominent only in the top and luckily it has zero coconut-like character. Unfortunately, extremely fleeting. No sillage, no projection, abysmal longevity. Hard to justify the price. No similarity to Philosykos at all.

I absolutely love this. I am a huge fan of Celine Rimbaud and this is in the same family. Sable Lavande opens up so bright and herbaceous then settles into a soft powdery lavender with a light citrus. This is such a calming fragrance. I blind bought the 1.6oz then instantly ordered the 5oz bottle. I will own this forever!

Do yourself a favor and layer Sable Lavande, this stunning luscious lavender, herbaceous freshie frag with Chloe Vanilla Planifolia. It’s a perfect pair. You’ll thank me later. Enjoy!

This is my white whale lavender!! It's dry and evokes the feeling of being in a hot lavender field in the middle of summer. If French lavender is the buds, this is the green stem.

It’s a 9/10 perfume for me, I didn’t give it a 10 just because it’s weak for my liking but the smell is a 10

Have an aromatic scent of lavender with creamy element

Edit: I still love this perfume but it is very skin scent with lacking longevity, which is a shame. Do better, Chloé! *** That's exactly what I hoped for Nishane B-612 to be, but it didn't deliver, being too heavy on cypress and pines. While Sable Lavande Chloé is woody but not too woody, lavender but not too floral, musky but not too sweet nor cloying. Definitely a bit unisex and fresh in a nice, herbal-like way. I wouldn't be mad if the lavender was stronger here, but I still like the way it's been presented, quite unique and interesting, light and airy, I would say. I don't think I've come across this kind of using lavender in perfumes yet and I'm a die hard fan of lavender in everything, lol 💜 It's a delicate and pretty scent that somehow reminds me of summer days of my childhood, busy with exploring countryside, its sunny, fragrant meadows and also highly scented, but umbrageous woodlets. Today's my first day of using it, in the middle of quite cold February, the scent seems to stay closer to the skin, maybe I should start overspraying more, we'll see. I'm sure Sable Lavande will be a great, refreshing perfume for summer, but I'm gonna enjoy it whenever I only feel like using it. Safe blind buy IMO, versatile fragrance, suitable for many occasions. Totally harmless for the people around, I would say. And even to the wearer, lol.

This is a special one. I love lavender, but not in perfume, it is usually way too perfumy and fake. Not this one. This is a walk in the fields, with wild flowers and lavender that feels so natural, flowers and stems and leaves and all. After dry down it smells like you crushed the whole plant of lavender and you have leftover oils and green juices on your skin. It is magical for lavender lovers. Unique. And as for sillage and longevity, I wore it yesterday on my wrist, 2 sprays from a sample, and everything I touched still smells of it, my couch included, 24 hours later.

The dry down reminds me so much of Bal d'Afrique by Byredo!! Lasts longer though ;) I’m also usually not a fan of perfumes that lean too unisex, but it doesn’t bother me as much with this one. Although I wish we got more lavender :( This is the kind of perfume I’d want to spray on myself right after a shower, it feels clean, fresh, and breezy. I don’t really get the creaminess that other comments are mentioning.

I don’t know what everyone here is smoking but I get intense — although sweet and figgy — lavender buffeted by florals and wood.

This is woody with an herbal lavender on my skin.

I have returned my bottle ( sable Lavande- Chloe). The raw coconut flesh was more prominent than anything else in this composition. I love lavender and was expecting a subtle one, but could barely detect it. And also can’t stand that coconut scent, it’s nauseating for me. I have just received a purchase from Bastide ( French perfumery) Lavande in Love, and can also detect that note in it, it might be the Ambroxan mixed with woods. But in the Lavande in Love it is towned down so I can bare it. Will continue my pursuit to find a good mix of lavander and other aromatics, without that coconutiness.
