What does Zafferano smell like?

The opening of mandarin orange, bergamot and orange is bright and clean, with coriander seed adding a light spicy edge. At the heart, orange blossom, saffron, rose and jasmine sambac lead, before tonka bean, patchouli and vanilla settle it into a creamy, woody base.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter the least chosen season. Leisure, daily wear and nights out lead the occasions; voters read it as masculine more often than anything else, though a fair share call it feminine. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle (2023) (Parfum Cheveux) and Nishane Tempfluo have a close profile.
