What does Blue Sapphire (Parfum) smell like?

The top opens with lemon, sage and saffron, softened by chamomile and pot marigold. Rose and magnolia form a floral heart, and patchouli, amber and oud close it out in a sweet, woody, smoky finish.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and favour evening and night-out wear. Voters most often read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine. Close in profile are The Dua Brand Sapphire Sky and Lattafa Opulent Oud.
