    Real talk

    This is warm spice doing leather, not leather doing warm spice. The difference matters. Some wearers want the saffron to shout louder; it doesn't. It lingers.Craquele
    This fragrance generates polarized reactions. The saffron note is polarizing on its own, but the ambergris and ambroxan combination creates a warm, almost hyperreal quality that some find synthetic.Baccarat Rouge 540
