What does ━━━━ Saffron smell like?

It opens with saffron and spices: aniseed, cumin and turmeric keep that spicy side dry and warm. In the heart, labdanum and Thai oud add a resinous, smoky depth, while ylang-ylang softens it a little. The base turns sweet with honey and vanilla, with patchouli and musk leaving an earthy, powdery floor.

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. With such a dense, oriental character, it sits more comfortably in cool weather and in the evening. It suits men and women alike.
