I think I thought I had...
...smelled this fragrance somewhere before. And I still think so. Several perfumes come to mind... Red Temptation Women Eau de Parfum is somewhat similar. However, this one is less saffron-spiced and sweeter.
The "Mandalay" has an extra-glow sunset mood after a hot day.
And something quite cool sneaks in like a north wind - mallow musk!?!
Also lightly indolic flowers - with a bit of green - jasmine along with leaves and stems. The saffron glow is wrapped again in golden amber - liquid amber - thanks to ancient tree resins. Then it becomes a bit cooler - and more woody. The cedar makes an appearance. Caramel, fortunately only very subtly - hardly detectable.
Now I would like to draw a comparison to Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum. I used a small sample for comparison. The two perfumes are almost on par in terms of scent - with minimal differences. Even though the "Sober" lasts slightly shorter and is less sweet. The varying warm impressions make the "calculation" somewhat add up. I think, I thought - and I will think - good SCENT!

Saffron-sun-hot! +Musk, cool, +Jasmine-indolic, +Woods, caramelized = Baccarat-Rouge-feeling. The equation roughly adds up!

I can't understand the bad review. Clear BR vibes. Typical saffron with the usual synthetic notes.
A decent alternative.

Typical maltol scent, here with the niche-inevitable saffron meant to add sophistication, but ultimately it’s boring.
