Saffron Lazuli

“STUNNER ...I don't get the comparisons to Initio's Side Effect, which is sweeter and a bit boozy.Saffron Lazuli is more unique, to my nose, and is just as smooth as a satin sheet. Saffron Lazuli has some easygoing florals that aren't present in Side Effect. I think that Side Effect does have slightly greater longevity though. But, both are pretty close in overall performance. Full bottle worthy.Don't get me wrong! I love both fragrances and I wear both! I just don't find them to be overly similar. Just for the record, I purchased the full bottle of Saffron Lazuli. Glad I did.”

“Saffron + dusty rose + non animalic leather. I can feel a blueberry jam scent at the beggining. It is sweet and I see it as unisex as long as you are into rose. The blend is great, not harsh, lasts a long time while not being beastly and projects. So objetively I see it as a great scent. I got a FB for a great price but sadly the rose stands out to me a lot and I am not a fan of this note. Someone asked me if I was wearing Oud Satin Mood so here's that... not that I see the similarities, they only share this dusty rose and thick feeling. Dense, dark, opulent and for cold weather.”

“One of the main allures of Herrera's confidential line has been it's pure focus; not intending to capture a moment or a sense, but rather intending to bring the best out of a single note, allowing the wearer to write the poetry themselves. This is realised to perfection here. This is the best saffron fragrance on the market, with the animalic/darker tones of the note wonderful amplified by the leather and the sweet softness cradled by the other notes, particularly the vanilla and tonka. Performance is good with an impressive scent cloud and longevity, lasting around ~10 hours on my skin.”
