By the editors · 2 min readSaffron opens with a dense, slightly medicinal spice that gives an immediate sense of richness. Blackberry adds a dark fruity character that pairs naturally with the saffron — together they create a jam-like, deeply colored opening. The note prior strongly signals leather, amber, and oud without those appearing explicitly in the pyramid.
Sandalwood and cedar in the base provide woody structure, while amber contributes warmth. Musk closes at a moderate level. The blackberry-saffron combination with amber and cedar reads as a contemporary oud-adjacent oriental despite oud not being listed.
A rich, dark fruity-oriental with spice-forward opening character. The sparse pyramid limits precision here, but the note prior confirms this as a heavy, sensuous composition for cooler seasons and evening wear.
