Saffron threads, crushed rose and salt air.
Saffron leads, dry and slightly bitter rather than sweetened, with rose and jasmine giving it a floral centre. Cistus, olibanum, pink pepper and musk build a warm mineral base around an ambergris accord.
Perfumed by: Julian Bedel
KSI Take: Saffron treated as a raw material instead of a Middle Eastern trope, which makes it far drier than most saffron rose fragrances on the shelf. Anyone expecting the plush, syrupy version of that pairing will find this thin and stony.
