What do reviewers say about Safran Rare and Sauvage Elixir?
Saffron in perfume either shines or gets buried. Here it leads, undeniable, for the full wear. If you want the note to announce itself from opening to drydown, Safran Rare is built for that.Safran Rare
This is the one that people either crave or can't get past. The opening is aggressive, four spices firing at once, but that's the point. The concentrated blend creates an immediate impact.Sauvage Elixir
