Raspberry and saffron make an unusual opening pair, and they work. The fruit is sweet and bright, saffron adds a warm, slightly earthy thread, and pink pepper sharpens the edges so it never turns jammy. As the opening settles, oud wood comes forward with rose and incense beside it, and the middle feels textured and less sweet. The house describes it as spiced through the middle, and that is accurate. By the dry-down, benzoin, ambergris and natural resins give a warm, slightly smoky base that hangs around close to the skin long after the fruit has gone. It is a strong choice for autumn and winter evenings and dinners, or any night where you want some presence, but the fruity start means it can work in the daytime in cooler months too. The eau de parfum strength helps the resin and ambergris base last. It is sold for men, though the fruit and resin lean toward the middle ground. Bottom line: a spiced, resinous oud with a fruity first impression, for people who want something distinctive.
