By the editors · 2 min readSaffron and clove arrive together at the opening — sharp, metallic, and lightly medicinal. There is an immediate warmth from the pairing, the saffron leaning dusty while the clove pushes toward a faintly spiced bite.
Vanilla fills the heart, absorbing the saffron's earthiness and rounding out the clove. The transition is smooth rather than dramatic. Tonka bean adds a mild nuttiness beneath the vanilla, keeping the sweetness dry rather than sugary.
In the base, amber grounds the whole structure in a warm, resinous haze. The overall impression is a compact oriental — dense with spice and sweetness, sitting close to skin without projecting far.
