What does Safran smell like?

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong, and although the number of votes is small, the direction is clear. With no season or occasion votes, its best moment is hard to pin down, but the dense build makes it a perfume that announces itself.

It opens with Lapsang Souchong tea, galbanum, cardamom and pepper; the heart holds saffron, maté, frankincense and orris root. The base carries osmanthus, leather and patchouli. Sweetness, spice and woody-smoky tones dominate the accords, while animal and earthy facets stay in the background. Versace Versace pour Homme Oud Noir and Riggs Lord have a close profile.
