    What do reviewers say about Safran Rare and Jamal's Desert?

    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
    Sweetness and smoke shouldn't work together. But here, they do. The leather and rose combination is bold, warm, and genuinely addictive, not for those who want safe.Jamal's Desert
