By the editors · 2 min readSaffron opens warm and slightly leathery, with a bitter-sweet edge that immediately suggests something heavier coming. The first minutes are dry and quietly resinous.
Frankincense deepens the heart into a smoky-resinous middle, the saffron now blending with the incense to create a tanned, suede-like texture. There is no transitional sweetness or fruit, just a steady deepening of the warm spicy resin.
The base is leather and amber, plush and slightly animalic, with the saffron's tobacco-like quality continuing into the dryout. The overall character is a smoky leather amber, dense and slightly austere, suited to cool evenings and quiet rooms rather than crowded settings.
