What does Saffron Elixir smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as strong, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough impression. It is a full, noticeable fragrance that works for both men and women.

It opens with saffron and cardamom in a spicy first impression. Toward the heart, caramel and amber sweeten it clearly. In the base, sandalwood, oakmoss and frankincense set a woody, slightly smoky ground. The overall feel is sweet, oriental and warm.
