Saffron & Leather Intense

Benjamin Barber · 2024

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Benjamin Barber Saffron & Leather Intense is a spicy, sweet and leathery unisex scent in which cinnamon, black pepper and saffron meet leather in the depths. Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate. Night-out and evening wear lead the votes, with leisure and business use following behind. It reads as neither distinctly masculine nor feminine. It opens with cinnamon, black pepper and bergamot for a spiced start. The heart holds elemi resin, lavender, caraway and leather. In the base, saffron and vanilla sweeten, tobacco and labdanum darken the picture, and iris adds a creamy softness.

Oud X

6.6

Benjamin Barber · 2024

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Benjamin Barber Oud X is a unisex fragrance that opens with oud and bergamot and turns sweet with date and vanilla, best suited to evenings and nights out. Oud X is rated good for longevity and moderate for sillage, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Most voters place it in the evening or on a night out, with leisure and daily wear well behind. It is described as unisex. It starts with oud and bergamot, then moves into a heart of cedar, patchouli and saffron that adds woody, spicy warmth, softened by lily of the valley, peony and freesia. The base of vanilla, date, sandalwood, ambergris and musk leaves a creamy, sweet, oriental finish. Angel Schlesser Absolute Oriental and Versace Versace pour Femme Oud Oriental have a close profile.

Romulus

5.5

Benjamin Barber · 2024

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Benjamin Barber Romulus is a unisex scent where saffron, leather and cinnamon lead into a sweet, spicy and smoky character. It opens with saffron, leather and cinnamon, a warm and spicy start. In the heart, orris root and violet bring a soft, powdery touch, with Lorenox™ sitting quietly behind them. The base turns sweeter with tonka bean and vanilla, while oud, cypriol and woody notes add a smoky, leathery depth. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage good, though the number of ratings is small, so these figures are only a rough guide. It sits comfortably between masculine and feminine. Roberto Ugolini Casentino and Roos & Roos Purple Leather have a close profile.
