By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and orange open cleanly before saffron steps forward — metallic, slightly leathery, warming the citrus rather than overwhelming it. Orange blossom and rose soften the transition, giving the heart a floral cushion that keeps the saffron from reading as purely savoury.
In the base, tonka bean and vanilla round everything into a smooth, resinous finish. Patchouli stays measured, adding earth and shadow without dominating. The overall effect is a spiced floral that leans warm and unhurried — the citrus top fades quickly, leaving saffron to do most of the work alongside a soft, sweet dry-down.
