In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Opulent Odyssey opens with a crisp breeze of cypress and hot saffron, quickly shifting into a dark heart of leather and rose. Sandalwood and cypriol anchor the base, giving it a smoky dryness that feels sophisticated yet easy to wear in cool autumn weather.

Reviews →

Saffron Bloom is a bright, spicy unisex scent that opens with juicy citrus and raspberry, then turns aromatic and rosy with a peppery edge. In the dry down, saffron and vanilla sit on labdanum, musk and a soft mossy base, giving it a warm, lightly sweet finish that still feels clean and daytime-friendly.
