I received a sample of Zafferano over a year ago, sprayed it on, and thought right away: yuck. Way too floral, synthetic, and just weird - absolutely not my thing.
The sample ended up in the drawer and was forgotten.
On vacation, I randomly packed it again (without looking at what it actually was) - then sprayed it on in the evening and was completely stunned. The scent developed completely differently, suddenly warm, elegant, with a floral-herbaceous blend that was just fantastic. I couldn't stop smelling myself.
Yes, it is definitely floral, but the more bitter notes make it feel distinctly masculine to me - to be honest, I can't really see it on a woman. Not a scent for every day, it's too special for that, but in my opinion, it's wearable in any season.
The performance is strong - the scent lasts long, has presence, and you will definitely be noticed (compliments included).
It's not a bargain price-wise, but with a bit of patience, you can often find it at a reasonable price.
But before buying, it's better to test it a few times - it can come across completely wrong at first.
