By the editors · 2 min readSaffron threads its warm spice immediately through the rich Bulgarian rose, creating an opulent and slightly metallic opening impression. Jasmine and iris emerge within minutes, softening the floral heart with a creamy and subtly powdery texture that complements the rose's depth. The dry-down introduces a soft suede note, which adds a plush, skin-like quality without aggressive leather tones. This composition remains relatively linear after the first hour, settling into a warm floral with a comforting, intimate trail. Projection is moderate initially, receding to a personal scent bubble that lasts for a solid six to seven hours. Best for evening wear in cooler weather, it offers a polished and slightly romantic character.
