By the editors · 2 min readSaffron opens the scent with its familiar metallic-leathery edge, immediately signaling density and depth. It lands with weight rather than brightness.
Magnolia and rose sit in the heart but are largely tamed by the saffron, contributing a soft floral roundness rather than asserting individual character. The musk threads through both heart and base, providing structural continuity.
Oud and amber anchor the base, with the oud adding a resinous, slightly smoky character that complements the saffron without fully eclipsing it. This is an amber-oud construction with saffron as a defining accent — dark, warm, and persistent, suited to dry or cool air.
