How does it perform?
From 26 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

What does Saffron & Leather Intense smell like?
Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate. Night-out and evening wear lead the votes, with leisure and business use following behind. It reads as neither distinctly masculine nor feminine.
It opens with cinnamon, black pepper and bergamot for a spiced start. The heart holds elemi resin, lavender, caraway and leather. In the base, saffron and vanilla sweeten, tobacco and labdanum darken the picture, and iris adds a creamy softness.
