What does Amber Saffron smell like?

The top is led by saffron, citrus, mint and spicy notes, with fruity and green notes lightening the start. Jasmine, rose and carnation add a floral softness in the heart. In the base, amber, oud, patchouli and tonka bean take over, while musk and balsamic notes turn it powdery, leathery and sweet.

Its longevity and sillage are rated strong, so it makes itself noticed around you. The dense, oriental character reads as masculine. Value for money is rated well too, though the number of votes is small.
