From your scent profile
Parfums de Marly Safanad opens on pear, orange and petitgrain, then softens into iris, orange blossom and jasmine sambac absolute, making a floral, sweet scent aimed at women.
Skunky's take: Floral accords up front; keep it from the bees.

What does Safanad smell like?
The pear and citrus opening soon gives way to iris, ylang-ylang and jasmine sambac absolute at the heart. The floral side dominates while the fruitiness stays in the background. In the base, vanilla, sandalwood and amber sweeten it into a powdery, creamy, lightly spicy oriental.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, evening and night-out wear lean slightly ahead, and it also sits easily in daily use. Voters mostly find it feminine and classic. Jean Paul Gaultier Classique and Hermès 24, Faubourg share a close profile.
