By the editors · 2 min readA creamy oriental that keeps the oud implicit. Saffron opens leathery and slightly metallic, the kind of dry warmth that makes you expect oud — yet the heart pivots to sandalwood softened by tuberose and ylang-ylang, with iris powdering the bouquet down. The result is a floral-wood crossing rather than a bare oud composition.
The base is where it settles into character. Castoreum and amber bring a leathery, balsamic warmth; caramel sweetens without going gourmand; heliotrope and musk smooth the edges. There's a quiet animalic hum underneath the floral, making the whole composition feel more intimate than ornate. Cool weather, evening, close projection — for those who like richness without volume.
