Saffron and leather: the two materials share a slightly animalic character at their extremes: Maison Crivelli's Safran Secret EDP opens on saffron, mandarin, and nutmeg before jasmine and leather settle over cedar, amber, and musk, for women.
Safran Secret EDP places saffron at its center. Saffron in the opening provides warm, metallic-rich character with facets of leather, honey, and slightly floral quality; mandarin adds sweet citrus brightness; nutmeg contributes warm, slightly sharp spice. Together the top creates a warm, spiced introduction that establishes the composition's character before the floral heart develops.
Jasmine in the heart adds white-floral depth and slight indolic warmth. Leather in the base provides dry, animalic depth that mirrors and extends the saffron's leathery facets; cedarwood adds dry, woody structure; amber provides warm, resinous support; musk extends the drydown. The composition reads as a saffron-centered feminine oriental. Eight to ten hours on skin.
Safran Secret EDP suits autumn and spring from daytime through evening. The saffron and leather accord reads well in moderate temperatures. A fragrance suited to casual and formal occasions.
