What does Safran Royal smell like?

The notes read as one whole rather than a top, heart and base: saffron's warm spice meets leather and amber, while Spanish cistus adds a resinous weight. Indonesian patchouli and nagarmotha lay a woody floor, and Moroccan wormwood tempers the sweetness with a dry bitterness. The overall impression is oriental, leathery and smoky.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening or night out over daytime; summer gets few votes. It leans masculine, though as a unisex scent it works on women too. Lattafa Qaa'ed and Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Desert Oud have a close profile.
