What does Crystal Saffron (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, followed by spring; night outs and evenings lead, though it also works for leisure time. More voters read it as masculine than anything else, yet it is made as a unisex perfume.

It opens with Habanolide®, and at the heart Greek saffron carries the spicy, sweet side. In the base, ambroxan and Somalian frankincense settle it onto a resinous, smoky, woody ground, with synthetic and leathery touches in the background. Penhaligon's Terrible Teddy and Escentric Molecules Molecule 02 have a close profile.
