What does Perfume Calligraphy Saffron smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring third and summer well behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure time. Votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine, so it sits genuinely in the middle.

It opens with bergamot and tagetes. In the heart, saffron, rose and lavender form a floral, spicy core. In the base, tonka bean sweetens the scent, while vetiver and styrax add a woody, resinous, powdery warmth. Aramis Perfume Calligraphy Rose and Dior Ambre Nuit (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
