SmokyWhat does Safran smell like?
Saffron and spices lead, while tobacco and frankincense add a resinous, smoky depth. Vanilla rounds it all into a creamy, sweet finish. The oriental character is clear, and the overall feel is warm and spicy.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is chosen more for evenings and nights out than for daily wear. Arabiyat Nayel Queen and d'Annam Through the Forest have a close profile.
