The note unfolds as a profoundly rich and enveloping experience, commencing with the unmistakable warmth and distinct leathery, slightly hay-like spice of authentic saffron, imbued with an immediate sense of opulent texture. This initial piquant vibrancy quickly cascades into the smooth, intoxicating embrace of aged liquor – evoking fine cognac or a dark, spiced rum – lending an unctuous, almost syrupy quality to the core. It possesses a velvety intensity, both commanding and remarkably smooth, devoid of any harshness. As it evolves, hints of dried fruit, cured tobacco, and the subtle, polished sheen of fine aged wood emerge, deepening its complexity. The projection is moderate to strong, creating an alluring aura that draws one closer, while its longevity is exceptional, lingering on the skin for many hours as a warm, sensual, and subtly sweet whisper, firmly anchoring itself as a luxurious heart note that seamlessly melts into the base.
