LeatheryWhat does Daring Saffiano smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick evening, followed by business settings and a night out; it also works for leisure and daytime, but evening carries the most weight. It reads masculine.
Davana opens at the top, while osmanthus and geranium form a floral heart. Leather and patchouli lead the base, and the spicy, woody and earthy accords add a smoky, faintly creamy depth. Yves Saint Laurent Wild Leather and Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Absolu have a close profile.
