Ambre Safrano
by BDK Parfums
Ambre Safrano by BDK Parfums delivers a bold, leathery scent with a strong spicy and amber-centred core. The opening evokes a vintage leather jacket steeped in cognac or smoky Irish whisky, marked by black pepper and olibanum, creating an instantly masculine and overpowering impression. Over time, it develops into a dry, creamy saffron amber with subtle vanilla sweetness, leaving a powdery, elegant dry down. The fragrance exhibits exceptional longevity, often lasting well beyond 24 hours with minimal touch-ups, and projects moderately to strongly, making it ideal for evening wear and cooler seasons like winter and autumn. Despite some mixed reception regarding its dry, rubbery leather component and fading sillage, it stands out for its unique complexity and depth, resonating well with those drawn to uncompromising, niche-inspired, spiced-leather creations.
