Safanad is my first bottle from PDM, I was never interested in this house. My friend told me that I would love this one so I ordered it and don't regret at all. The bottle is so pretty and I'm surprised how much I love the juice itself.
Safanad is a rich composition with gorgeous, narcotic, natural smelling Orange Blossom with sweet Pear and Orange in the opening, both of them making the florals a bit sticky and candied. An addictive tropical breeze from luscious Ylang-Ylang and hypnotic jasmine melds enchantingly into the base where golden Amber, sweet attractive Vanilla and creamy Sandalwood complete the full-bodied blend. It’s bright and luminous, absolutely a scent of happiness.
Safanad was released in 2012 and maybe it was quite unique back then, but nowadays it's not groundbreaking in any way, but it's still beautifully blended, the aroma is very rich and the scent lasts forever even on the skin. I think this can be too much for some people.
I don't find this similar with Classique Eau de Toilette since this is brighter, not so complex and it doesn't have that sensual mysterious character which original blend of Classique had. There is Orange Blossom and many other same notes but Safanad is clearly Orange Blossom scent with candied fruits while all the notes in Classique are melting together and it evolves into sensual powdery scent and creates a seductive, irresistible veil into your skin. Even if Classique is more complex I think it's easier to wear. I think Classique Intense and Le Parfum Eau de Parfum has more similar vibe with Safanad since those are bright, even a bit solar perfumes and the blends are simpler by focusing more on Orange Blossom than the blend of Classique Eau de Toilette does.
Thank you for reading, I hope you liked my review and it was helpful.
