What does Majestic Saffron smell like?

It opens with cardamom, cinnamon leaf, Persian saffron, lavender and bitter orange, where citrus and fresh accents lighten the spice. The heart adds nagarmotha, patchouli, geranium and three ouds (Laotian, Thai, Indian), giving an earthy, resinous depth. The base settles into sandalwood, cashmere wood, amber and musk, warm, sweet and slightly leathery.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and leisure, evening and nights out draw equal support. It leans masculine in the votes, though a good share call it feminine. Duftanker MGO Duftmanufaktur The Royal Saffron and Sospiro Tenore have a close profile.
