  On a technical blog they mention clove. I, for two or three hours blind, perceived a note of eugenol associated with carnation or clove, which I’m not a fan of. Furthermore, I’ve always found it hard to detect saffran properly, especially when it’s linked to leather, although that’s not the case here. The first hours are quite spicy, with a prickle I suppose comes from the ginger. Regarding the saffron, with sharp nuances, somewhat dirty, earthy and slightly camphorated leather… well, yes, things like that are felt and certainly it’s not my favourite note. Over time, very pleasant floral notes are perceived which, looking at the pyramid, I can associate with the rose: very juicy and full of life, but it doesn’t last long until the more enduring base enters where everything previously mentioned is sweetened (although I don’t clearly catch the vanilla or sugar) and it becomes somewhat soapy. A perfumer commented that sub-products are obtained from sandalwood distillation that give soapy nuances, and since sandalwood is listed, some of that might be present. We know that sandalwood can be more frank and woody (like dark oud or Santalum majusculum) or milky and creamy, but here it doesn’t become woody. It’s not bad and lasts much longer than the strips say, but I don’t see it for me.

  I’ve liked it. It opens with a saffron-infused rose, fresh ginger, and vanilla that sweetens everything. It has that dusty rose touch and the woody creaminess of sandalwood, perhaps with a hint of cardamomo at the start. It’s a linear fragrance, gourmand-floral, sweet and creamy, more suited for her than him, but its longevity is poor. I find it versatile, perfect for spring, autumn and winter, day and night. Longevity is moderate and the trail is soft.

  I like it. It opens with a saffron-infused rose, with the ginger giving freshness and the vanilla sweetening the whole. It has the dusty touch of the rose and the woody creaminess of the sandalwood. Perhaps a touch of cardamomo at the opening. It’s a fairly linear fragrance, gourmand-floral, sweet and creamy, more feminine than masculine, but the performance is quite scarce. I find it versatile: for spring, autumn and winter, for day and for night. Longevity is moderate and the trail is soft.

  At first, the rose didn’t convince me and now I confirm it: I’m not a huge fan of that type of flower. It’s a fresh, simple, slightly spiced scent, quite natural. As it dries down, it becomes sweeter and more vanilla-like, losing a bit of its freshness. I see it as suitable for intermediate seasons, ideal for staying at home and enjoying the rose, although it leans towards the feminine side. It doesn’t smell synthetic or cheap; it has its followers, but simply doesn’t suit me.
