What does Safran Rare smell like?

It opens with freesia, geranium, bergamot and frankincense. In the heart, Rosa centifolia and Grasse jasmine join saffron and cedarwood, and the floral side picks up a spicy, woody depth. As it dries, benzoin, vanilla, Indonesian oud and sandalwood carry the sweetness into a resinous, smoky and slightly leathery tone, with vetiver adding an earthy backdrop.

Voters find its longevity and sillage good. Most pick winter and fall, then spring; summer gets only a small share. It draws the most votes for evenings and nights out, and is also chosen for leisure and business. Amouage Overture Woman and Roja Parfums FM The Perfume have a close profile.
