Saffron + Amber

Tart raspberry and saffron open this one with a sharp, slightly medicinal glitter, thyme cutting across the fruit before it can turn candied. Frankincense and jasmine build a smoky middle that keeps the sweetness in check.

The dry-down is where it settles in: leather and suede over amber and sandalwood, warm and close to the skin. Projection is moderate rather than loud, which makes it easy to wear into an office or a dinner, and the resinous weight suits fall and winter evenings better than August afternoons.

Eau de parfum, 3.4 oz. For women and men.
