Caden is one of the most popular niche fragrances in the Middle East, and probably globally, and I bought it blind without sniffing anything beforehand. The bottle is simple yet elegant and commanding, and the atomizer has great pressure and that niche quality.
The notes are saffron, cardamom, cade oil and boozy notes on top, suede, benzoin and coffee in the heart, and vanilla, tonka, amberwood, guaiac wood and labdanum at the base. The saffron opening is elegant, commanding and luxurious, luxury at its finest. It is unisex leaning masculine, made for special occasions, date nights and executive-level confidence. If you want to command a room, this is the fragrance for you. As you inhale more, it fills up everything in your being and keeps calling you back for more.
I came back to it after two hours and it hadn't changed, so from the opening to two hours you get that dark, saffron-forward, luxurious smell. The dry down is amazing and the longevity looks very promising. It is going to make my top 10 easily.
