Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Safran Rare EDP

This one's a divisive oud-saffron bomb that some absolutely adore for its smoky, leathery depth and beast-mode performance, while others find the saffron muted and the overall impression a bit one-note. Expect opulent warmth, but be warned, it's not for the faint of heart.

Our Verdict - Golden Plante EDP

Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Amouroud Safran Rare - a floral fragrance led by Freesia, Bergamot, Geranium, with woody depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the floral signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.
