By the editors · 2 min readSaffron and fig leaf announce this one with some confidence — the metallic, earthy quality of saffron cutting through the green-milky fig. The composition darkens fast: nutmeg and incense lock in the middle alongside labdanum, and by the time the base arrives the development has committed to something resinous and dry.
The leather in the base is understated — more suede than hard grain — backed by patchouli's earthy depth and the smokiness of guaiac wood. For Avon, this stands out as a genuinely ambitious men's oriental. It wears with presence without demanding the room. Best for autumn evenings or colder-weather nights.
