What does Saffron | Amber | Cardamom smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It suits daytime, leisure and office wear; more voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine.

It opens with cardamom, bergamot and cinnamon, then moves into a woody, spiced heart of saffron, carnation, cedar and sandalwood. Oud, vanilla and amber sweeten the base, which dries down resinous, earthy and warm.
