What does Suède et Safran smell like?

The top holds Indian ambrette seed and Persian saffron. Suede and ginger sit in the heart, and leather with musk forms the base. Synthetic, spicy and woody accords lead, with an oriental, smoky feel and a leathery thread running through it.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is worn mainly in the evening and for nights out, with leisure and daily wear also getting votes. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is sold as unisex. Marco Serussi MS Oud and Montale Greyland have a close profile.
