About

Velvet Zafferano opens with a striking, warm saffron, quickly giving way to the rich, dry sweetness of tobacco leaf. As it settles, a lush amber accord deepens, sweetened by vanilla and grounded by earthy patchouli and the resinous warmth of labdanum. It's an opulent, enveloping scent, leaning into its balsamic and spicy roots.
