Flower-fat saffron - where to go?
Saffron is special, yes. But I do have a few saffron references. I like saffron when it comes across as dry, tart, spicy, hot and woody.
The saffron here combines very closely with iris butter and becomes soapy, oily and sweet. I also soon notice jasmine, discreetly, which reinforces this sweet impression. It doesn't appeal to me. The fragrance is neither edgy, angular, spicy and bold, nor pleasing, fine or harmoniously beautiful.
Overall, Cappadocia starts off very loud and strong, almost off-putting to me. This subsides within minutes. What remains is a feeling of neutral indecision alongside the flowery, greasy saffron. Is it good or bad? Is it sophisticated or irrelevant? I can't say for sure. Only that it also feels like a synthetic fragrance experience for me. But here too: There are enough fragrances in my collection that are more synthetic than natural and I like them. I have nothing against synthetics. But here it bothers me, it seems plasticky to me, the longer I hold out and sniff again and again.
I can definitely say no to the question of whether I want to smell like this. I can't answer the question of whether I would like to smell it on others conclusively, any more than I can say what I would actually like this creation to be.
Or do I just not understand it?

The fabulous house of Jovoy - a fragrant journey with many twists and turns
Pfffft... "Ohhh ha." That was the spontaneous reaction. Fruit freshness, tangy, yes, definitely rhubarb, not lemony-citrusy, with the bergamot bringing more of a light teeny note. Then everything...

A pragmatist falls in love
So, now I have to write another review or rather describe what has happened since my test - I'll leave my conclusion as a statement, it's just my opinion. Also because the reviews here tend to be negative. All the more reason for me to describe...
