By the editors · 2 min readSaffron opens dry and papery, its leathery edge immediately joined by pink pepperpink pepper that crackles like static electricity over skin. The two heart materials fuse into a muted, slightly oily spice that feels more textile than culinary. Sandalwood arrives as a pale, cream-colored wood, softening the spice while suede lays down a cool, matte skin-like layer that blurs edges. Musk fills the spaces, not animalic but clean and faintly salty, extending the suede effect into a second-skin aura. Projection stays within handshake distance for six hours, then collapses to a whisper of warm wood and clean musk that clings to fabric. Wear it to the office in cool weather when you want texture without statement.
