Affinessence Safran-Neroli is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Margherita Carini. Safran-Neroli opens with Davana and Saffron, and settles into a heart of Neroli, Ylang-Ylang, and Tea. Affinessence's Safran-Neroli carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Safran-Neroli swings between syrupy sweet and an intriguing oddity. It's divisive, for sure; some will find it a unique love, others, a glorified restroom cleaner. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.

Its distinctive, bold character, driven by sweet and spicy accords, makes it less suitable for the office. However, it's intriguing blend and moderate sillage lend themselves well to date nights or more formal, statement-making occasions.

About

Safran-Neroli kicks off with a bold, sweet saffron, almost syrupy, intertwined with the boozy, dried-fruit facet of davana. As it settles, a prominent, almost bubblegum-like neroli emerges, softened by creamy ylang-ylang and the subtle, grounding earthiness of black tea. It's a sweet, floral and spicy journey, maintaining an almost metallic edge that keeps it from being purely gourmand.
