Om produkten

Saffron is an expensive way to open a fragrance and Carven Paris Bangalore Eau de Parfum 100ml spends it in the first thirty seconds. Saffron does not smell the way the colour suggests. It is dry, slightly leathery and faintly medicinal, with a bitter edge that gives a composition instant seriousness, and clove is set beside it, hot and sharp and a little numbing in the way clove oil is on the tongue. That is a bracing start and it rules out anybody looking for something easy. The middle is where it softens. Tolu balsam is the material doing it, a resin that smells warm, sticky and golden, sweet without being sugary, and vanilla proper joins it to round the edges. The spice does not vanish, it simply stops biting, and the fragrance moves from austere to comfortable without ever becoming sweet. The close is dry again. Red sandalwood is firmer and less creamy than the usual sandalwood, amber provides a resinous glow, and tonka bean sits underneath with a soft, slightly bitter warmth, something like the smell of a biscuit tin after the biscuits have gone. Seven materials in total, which makes this a compact composition with a clear arc rather than a crowded one. This is a cold weather fragrance and an evening one. At eau de parfum strength it has real staying power, the resins in particular hanging on for hours, and it reads as unisex. Anyone who finds most spiced fragrances too sweet should try this, because the saffron keeps the sugar at arm's length throughout.
