By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is a polished rose lift, jammy and slightly sweet, with the saffron beginning to colour the edges almost from the first minute. The two notes pair into a recognisable rose-and-spice signature quickly.
Saffron deepens through the middle into a leathery-resin warmth, dragging the rose with it and adding a soft animalic shadow at the centre. The composition feels denser than the simple note list suggests, the saffron doing most of the heavy work.
Amber settles the close into a warm, slightly powdery glow, smooth and a little sweet. Overall the character is a rose-leather amber, comfortable and cosy in cooler weather, more dressed than casual.
