What does Zafferano smell like?

It opens with saffron, raspberry blossom and cedarwood. In the heart, jasmine, rose and lily of the valley soften the spice and bring out the floral side. Brazilian rosewood and ambergris leave a warm, woody base, so the overall impression is fresh, spicy and slightly oriental.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen most often for leisure time and nights out. Although it is marketed as a men's scent, masculine and feminine votes are almost evenly split. Monom Rosalia and Oud Elite Nero have a close profile.
