BDK Parfums Ambre Safrano EDP

Description

BDK Parfums Ambre Safrano Eau de Parfum is a 2022 release from the Paris niche house, composed by perfumer Julien Rasquinet as an intense study in golden saffron and smoky amber. Saffron and plum open into a heart of black leather and frankincense brightened by Turkish rose, before settling into a fiery base of French oak, vanilla, and sandalwood.

Translation: a fiery, resinous amber built on saffron and leather, intense and warming, not a light everyday spray. Note: despite the resinous depth, there's no actual agarwood in the formula. The smokiness comes from frankincense and leather.
