What does 903 Baies du Népal Safran Oud smell like?

It has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it reads somewhat more masculine than feminine.

It opens with saffron and pepper spice alongside the fresh green edge of coriander seed. In the heart, Tonkin musk, cashmere wood and powdery notes soften that dryness. The base settles into an earthy, woody floor of oud, sandalwood and patchouli, with a slightly synthetic feel running through the accords. Essential Parfums Patchouli Mania and Parah Parah Black Touch have a close profile.
