What does Zafferano Ambrosia smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. With no gender lean, it sits comfortably on men and women alike.

It opens with ginger, Calabrian bergamot and Italian red mandarin orange, a fresh, fruity start. In the heart, orange blossom, jasmine sambac and saffron bring a floral, spicy warmth. Vanilla, patchouli and amber then settle it onto a sweet, resinous, slightly earthy base.
