By the editors · 2 min readSaffron opens with its distinctive warm spicy character, slightly medicinal and aromatic without being overpowering. Jasmine provides a floral heart that softens the spice with its indolic richness, while olibanum adds a frankincense-like resinous quality. Leather and suede base notes create a dry, tactile texture that dominates the dry-down, supported by amber's warm sweetness. The composition evolves from spicy-aromatic to a more leather-focused character over the first hour. Projection is moderate but persistent, maintaining a noticeable presence without being overwhelming. This scent works best for cooler weather evenings or formal occasions where its leather-spice combination feels appropriate. Its relatively simple structure allows the quality materials to shine through clearly and effectively.
