What does Golden Safran smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick it for evenings and nights out, and it also finds a place at work and for daily wear.

The top is liquorice, cardamom, pink pepper and grapefruit, the citrus brightening while cardamom and pink pepper add spice. Cinnamon, nutmeg and lavender lead the heart. The base of vetiver, patchouli, labdanum and oakmoss gives it a woody, earthy and slightly smoky footing. Dior Sauvage Elixir and French Avenue Enigma Une share a close profile.
