I typically hate amber heavy scents, but I love Tuscan Leather, saffron and raspberry, so it comes as no surprise that I love this scent. Unfortunately the projection is far too soft for my tastes, but I love the scent.

Hmm the scent does not match the price tag. I love amber but would hesitate to call this an amber scent. I love saffron and don’t see that strand out very much either. Why not call it raspberry musk? Cause I do get a ton of raspberry and a tad bit of musk. Not too impressed. The silage is nothing to write home about either.

This scent is better than people give it credit for. It is a very well composed scent that does something very interesting. It showcases darker elements in a light and clean way, thus it’s name. It smells of high quality and refined. You get different notes like a leather sensation, a slight dark smokey sensation without being smokey and a pinch of that tuscan leather raspberry vibe. Overall it is a solid scent that has a niche quality about it.
the problem with this scent could be it’s performance.. But i can’t judge the performance yet.

A surprise new favorite for me- this is a subtle, easy to wear yet just complex enough to intrigue fragrance. My only complaint would be that it doesn’t seem to last as long on me as I would like- maybe a four-hour span from beginning to end. Just enough of that nice soft smoke, mandarin, and a very light amber, and I personally do pick up on the delightful rose halfway in. Looking forward to learning how this scent works on me in the warm months of Summer, and happy to have found it quite by chance. I like how unobtrusive yet still “there” it is.

I don’t have perfume drinking skin and usually prefer lighter perfumes and colognes, but Clean Amber Saffron is nonexistent. I usually don’t say a perfume is like water, but this is like water. I have to put my nose into my arm to get anything. Even Jo Malone’s Wood Sage & Sea Salt is a heavy hitter in comparison to this. Anyways, the scent is a nice salty leathery amber. It would be a like for me if it’s 4x stronger.

Beadvised, sometimes saffron comes across as smelling of leather. Could this be the leather you’re perceiving?

I love this because it’s so different and intriguing. I can smell a hint of amber but nothing in the way of how I’m use to smelling amber scents in fragrances. I have tested this 3 times to make sure I’m not crazy. This smell is the smell of new clothing that you buy at the store and this is why I like this smell. Not sure if it’s good for a fragrance. It is definitely “clean” and not in a soapy or bathroom cleaner way. If they told me they sprayed this on new clothing before they shipped them to the outlets. I’d think “oh so that’s how they get that smell”. I wouldn’t think anything of it because that is what it smells like. So strange lol
No one else smells the leather!? This is even stronger leather than my Bvlgari black. These reviews lol everyone smells something different.

The Clean Reserve line so far has been a series of letdowns. None of them are bad, but quite a few are too close to plain old dryer sheets to justify their price. But along comes Amber Saffron and I have to say I am intrigued!
A dominant raspberry normally makes an appearance in celebrity fragrances or commercial fruity-choulies. But this is much nicer as it is not overly sweet. On my skin, the raspberry is the most prominent note but is solidly supported by the saffron, musk, and amber. The musk and saffron combine to make something almost cedary. The way Clean uses saffron here reminds me of MAC’s most recent Shadescents line; It adds a slight skin/sweat kind of feel that prevents Amber Saffron from becoming too artificial or too fruity. I don’t get much bergamot or orange, they must be lending a brightening effect rather than a distinct citrus note. I also do not get lily or rose. Same thing: they are probably rounding out the scent rather than vying for dominance. I have no idea about the artemisia.
Like others have alluded to, this is not a complex fragrance, but it is versatile and inoffensive. I interpret it as a more feminine scent for younger people. It isn’t mature or sophisticated, but you could totally wear this every day and be fine. It is my favorite so far out of the Clean Reserve line.
However, I don’t think I would purchase a full-size bottle. The saffron is just intrusive enough to make this an occasional scent. It is very prominent in warm weather and isn’t my bag.

This is a great clean/fresh fragrance for oriental lovers. I get a light fresh warm scent that hints at being spicy and hints at being laundry-like. The raspberry adds a point of interest in the first hour but doesn’t linger. There is a sweet powdery note to it.
I can see how some people say it skews masculine, it does have a similar amber and saffron to some oriental colognes I’ve smelled, but I don’t get any oakmoss or vetiver and it doesn’t touch any of the classic cologne mixes.
This might be my perfect summer scent. It’s something I never would have thought to try and was sent as an extra in a swap and I’m so glad to have found it.

Smells ok, probably one of the better ones from this line, it is SO WEAK!!!(beginning of Spring). Maybe it’s strictly a hot and humid day wear but it is still WEAK. Unisex but weak. More a body spray than a perfume or cologne.

Unisex – on my dry skin it gets maleish. e very nice Saffon, Amber and Musk-mix indeed but I don’t think this one is for me – too maleish.
Unisex – och på min torra hud blir den manlig. En jättefin Saffran, Amber och musk-mix men verkligen manlig. Inget för mig.
dodeisonsiste – :
Unisex for sure. Goes on fresh, sweet and juicy. At first was actually harsh but becomes tolerable after 2 hours, then remains linear. Blackberry musk…very similar to Sex 9 by Trish McCavoy.
ertyssy – :
Not what I was expecting. Its just a slightly woody fruity scent on me. Nothing oriental or amber about it! Smells like a body spray from VS or BBW. Not bad, but def not worth $90.00!! Decent sillage and longevity. Not sure if Im keeping this yet….
Pashan – :
I love this scent. It’s so versatile, even though it seems like a fall and winter scent it really works during the summer and spring as well because it’s not that heavy. The longevity is not as good as most EDP:s but it’s only slightly less than that. It’s definitely worth the price for the amount in the bottle.

CLEAN Amber Saffron opens on my skin with a slightly sharp, laundry-like white musk and a woody raspberry note. The laundry musk retreats fairly quickly, and Amber Saffron is then dominated by this raspberry note until the end. I can say that there’s some jammy rose, pollen-like lily and warm saffron, but I can’t help thinking that it’s the sort of raspberry-rose-oud aromachemicals often in those rose oud fragrances these days, only it’s even cleaner and more transparent in CLEAN’s version.
The sillage is moderate to close, and the longevity is around 8 hours on me. I would not recommend it if you’re interested in amber or saffron, especially the former, as it’s really a raspberry-rose-oud fragrance to my nose. If you’d like a lighter version of this type of scents, Amber Saffron might be interesting to sample.

I actually quite like this, would I pay full price tag for it? No but it’s rather nice. At first blast it smell almost identical to Le Vie este Belle,very sweet and warm. But it dries down to a woody smokey scent and I love that. I get hints of the same dry down as Ralph Lauren Blue. I applied it at 11 am and I could still catch faint wiffs of it at 10 PM. I don’t think it’s a sillage monster but others may notice it if they get within your personal space but other than that it’s more of a skin scent. I find that it is unisex but it’s leaning more towards the female gender. I love the scent just wish it was more of a monster. It has that sweet smokey woody smell I crave.
mak2cim – :
Too much lime and raspberry for my taste. It’s a perfume, not a daiquiri. I would have liked to smell less fruit and more amber and saffron, something more in keeping with the name.
Гесер – :
Received this as a sample and was unsure if I would keep it for myself or pass it on to my fella, as many unisex scents tend to turn sharp or soapy on my skin. The scent is gentle and truly unisex, smelling like warm leather and spice with a hint of sweetness – never turned sharp or soapy, and I will *definitely* be keeping this sample for myself.
Xeroxqbgcs – :
I agree this offers some punch! I love amber, but not crazy about saffron though…this is fresh and warm at the same time, clearly a watery oriental to my nose…it isnt frankly feminine either, not is it masculine…it is bright, I just wouldn’t buy it as I am not fan of saffron…but definitely an interesting scent!! With the fruity undertone, would be nice in warm weather too..

Lately I’ve become quite jaded with perfumes. They all either smell boring or bland(boring again) or juvenile. I was really hoping that there would be some interesting releases over the holiday season, but nothing interested me enough to even go back to the store to sniff again.
Then I wandered into Sephora and had a go at this new Clean line and was intrigued by Amber and Saffron. I would not normally gravitate to this sort of a scent, so it was nice to have something that I kinda liked. I asked the SA for a sample.
I’ve drained it.
It’s not love, really, but something that’s a little intriguing and NOT BORING. I think that I detect some honey in it, and I feel, rather than smell the saffron. An amber colored warmth. It’s a terrific scarf smell.
All in all, I agree with Jenavira, I’m not going to pay $90 for it, but I AM going to make sure that I’m not wearing any scent when I go to Sephora, so I that I can enjoy a good, long spritz from the tester.

Consider this a more adult version of BBW’s Black Raspberry & Vanilla and Philosophy’s Falling In Love. Does not smell bad but does not call for a $90 price tag either.
