Late summer evening
Actually looking for a saffron scent, I ordered "Ungaro" blind and tested it in the meantime. My comment refers to the newer version with the purple color:
The fragrance reminds me of pure, pleasantly warm sunshine in liquid form! It goes straight into the heart and warms.
The opening begins with berry aromas. A little bit like sunny raspberry leaves and all kinds of berries, directly from the bush. A true aroma explosion, but never artificial or sticky. Soon a beautiful, flowery scent rises into my nose. That must be jasmine, but also something else, maybe heliotrope? From the very beginning, the resinous-spicy base note is also noticeable. Like sticky, resinous tree sap. Maple syrup and some forest honey smells like this. The saffron is not in the foreground, but it gives the whole thing the necessary grounding and spice.
For me, the entire composition represents a warm late summer evening in its purest form. The vegetation is at its peak: berries are ripe, flowers are blooming and trees are full of sap. The air is warm.
The fragrance slowly fades away and after a few hours I only smell the resinous base note slightly. The sun has set blood-red.
The shelf life is average, but for me it fits perfectly as an evening fragrance that has faded away until the sun has set.
It is not intrusive, quickly gets very close, but it has this "magic" for me, as only few modern fragrances still have it. He would have fitted in well with the '80s or early '90s. Hats off to the masterful perfumer (Kurkdjian).
He is not the saffron we are looking for yet, but he can stay here for sure. I'm just thinking about ordering a second bottle.
