By the editors · 2 min readSaffron opens with a warm-spicy shimmer that quickly melds into a powdery floral heart of jasmine and iris. Ylang-ylang adds a creamy yellow-floral richness that bridges the transition toward the leather base. Oud and myrrh deepen the composition with animalic and balsamic textures, while amber provides a sweet resinous foundation. Leather remains prominent throughout the dry-down, creating a sophisticated contrast with the floral elements. Projection starts moderately strong but settles into an intimate skin scent after several hours. Longevity extends well into the evening, making it suitable for cool weather formal occasions.
