Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Saffron Amber opens with peach, coriander and bergamot, a juicy, lightly spiced start with a citrus lift. The heart is built on ylang-ylang, saffron and jasmine, which mixes creamy white flowers with the warm, slightly leathery character of saffron. The base is amber and musk, which is soft, warm and rounded. It is an easy, glowing scent with enough spice to keep it interesting, and it suits cooler weather well.
