What does Safran Troublant smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring third and summer well behind. Evening, leisure and daily wear draw similar numbers of votes. Voters read it as more feminine than masculine.

Saffron brings a spicy, oriental warmth, rose carries the floral side, and vanilla adds sweetness and the gourmand edge. Sandalwood gathers these on a woody, powdery base. The scent reads as a single piece: warm, soft and lightly spiced.
