Safran Colognise is a Citrus, Leather, Musky scent created for Men and Women in 2019 by perfumer Jorge Lee.
Review
If Colognise is the energetic, put-together younger sibling, then Safran Colognise is the mysterious older sibling who catches the attention of all the younger sibling’s friends. A citrusy opening gives way to the subtle spiciness of Saffron, with a Leather and Musk base that adds an appealing finish. It can easily be worn by anyone, but has an ever-so-slightly masculine vibe to it. It conjures up memories of flipping through magazines and opening the fragrance ads and wishing you smelled like that, or you had someone special to snuggle up to that smelled like that. It is subtle, yet attractive, and easy to wear day or night. . It transitions easily from day to night, and can be worn for any setting from the office, to date night, to drinks with friends, to a wedding, or for a casual day out. It has been compared to the Acqua di Parma fragrances.
Inspiration
Safran Colognise is a more alluring take on the original Colognise, inspired by goodwill and a welcoming environment. It takes a more sultry turn with a rich and mysterious essence.
Notes
This scent starts off fresh and invigorating with Cedrat, Passionfruit, and Pink Grapefruit. These zesty essences tame the sharpness of the Saffron and Pink Pepper, creating an intriguing, yet, warm, brightness. Magnolia adds a faint touch of sweetness that segues nicely into the depth of the base. Leather adds a faint smokiness that adds a perfect seductive quality when blended with the citrus and spice. Ambergris adds a warm longevity and Musk a sultry essence that keeps the allure going throughout the drydown.
