Svensk Parfym Sadel is a unisex scent where leather and caramel sit side by side, its sweet, gourmand side resting on a spicy, woody base.

What does Sadel smell like?

The notes read as one piece: leather and tobacco build a dry, earthy backbone, while butterscotch, caramel and vanilla lay a soft sweetness over it. The resinous and leathery accords keep the sweetness from turning confectionery, so the scent stays warm and slightly smoky where it is heaviest.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick it for leisure and evening wear, with night out and business also getting votes. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on men and women alike.
