What does Saffron Mandarin smell like?

The top is led by Italian mandarine, blood orange and Italian lemon, with Peruvian pink pepper and Madagascar pepper adding spice to that fresh opening. The heart holds saffron, jasmine absolute and ylang-ylang, and the base is made of labdanum, tonka bean, oak wood and benzoin. It starts citrusy, fruity and sweet, then settles into a woody, resinous warmth.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so this is a tentative reading. Being unisex, it suits both women and men. Tiziana Terenzi Cubia and Dior Homme Sport (2017) have a close profile.
