By the editors · 2 min readSaffron opens ANKA with a dry, leathery spice that immediately grips the skin, its papery bitterness slicing through the fleshy sweetness of peach and a snap of tart grapefruit. The heart folds in clove and nutmeg, turning the opening fruit into a mulled, slightly smoky warmth while keeping the spices crisp rather than syrupy. Sandalwood soon steadies the accord, its creamy wood softening the rougher edges of oakmoss and letting amber glow quietly underneath. Wear is autumn-leaning: projection stays within arm’s reach for six hours, then settles to a skin-warm resin that reads more woody than sweet.
