What does Rose Safran / Rose Saffron smell like?

It opens with bitter orange, mandarin orange and bergamot, which give the rose a bright citrus start. In the heart, May rose meets saffron and cypress, turning the floral side spicy and slightly woody. The base of styrax, myrrh and Akigalawood® settles into a creamy, powdery, chypre-like finish, with animal and leathery tones staying in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. It suits those who like rose and saffron and want a sweet women's scent that isn't one-note. Byredo Animalique and Roja Parfums A Goodnight Kiss have a close profile.
