Amber Saffron

The first minutes are bright and brisk: mint and green notes cut through citruses and fruity accents, while saffron gives the opening its warmth. The heart turns floral, as rose, jasmine and lily of the valley gather around carnation, which lends an edge. Underneath, amber, oud and patchouli build a deep base, softened by tonka and balsamic notes.

Rated at eight to twelve hours, it holds from dusk to the end of the night. The character is bold and polished, with real contrast between its bright start and its dark finish. Autumn and winter suit it best, when a heavier scent has room to breathe. Wear it for evening plans, formal dinners and occasions that call for presence.
