“opening has a quite raw feeling to the saffron and slight blend of must but after 1 hr it becomes a smooth blend of saffron and musk with a decent hint of ambroxin, one of my favorite.Longetivity: 12+ hrsSillage: 8+ hrsProjection: 8+ hrs( goes really well with my skin chemistry)The longetivity is enormous, became a skin scent at the 18hr mark, at 14hr mark, it was still there with decent sillage and projection.”
“Sparkly and electric, smells like the exact moment a circuit shorts. Simultaneously smells like a blast of realistic saffron. One spray is enough to fill a room and it lasts for multiple days on me. The opening is offensive, gets sweeter over time. I’d almost prefer it to be less sweet so it could hold its metallic qualities for longer.Reminds me of Dune (2021), enough saffron to let you see every possible future.”
“Soooo strong perfume. This stuff is nuclear. I have to spray it on my stomach or my lower back in order to be able to breathe without suffocating. And it lasts and last!!!I can smell all the notes listed in the piramide:metalic,musky,smoky,clean saffron. Very clean perfume. And absolutely worth the price.”
