Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Crystal Saffron
This extrait is a beast-mode saffron bomb with a divisive metallic edge. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that screams luxury and confident intensity, but definitely not for the faint of heart or those prone to headaches.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Crystal Radiance
Crystal Radiance copies Matiere Premiere's Crystal Saffron - that clean musk-and-dry-saffron core riding a generous ambroxan-incense base. The dupe captures the genderless saffron-musk signature but reads flatter and softer than the famously potent original.

However, its luxurious, sophisticated character makes it a superb choice for dates and formal events. You might get away with it casually with minimal sprays, but it's too much for active wear.
