Description
The richness of SAFRAN rests quietly inside the timid, purple Crocus Flower. A flower that blooms for a few short days. It’s rich red and fragrant stigmata are hidden inside, three per flower. Carefully harvested by hand, they are sun-dried to concentrate their precious, unusual, silken aroma. The richness of this luxurious note is enchanted and sustained. Finally crowned with an Indian Oud, creating a RARE, VERY RARE SAFRAN PERFUME.
Safran Rare by Amouroud is a fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Safran Rare was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Claude Dir. Top notes are freesia, bergamot, incense and geranium; middle notes are cedar, saffron, rose de mai and jasmine; base notes are benzoin, agarwood (oud), vetiver, sandalwood and vanilla.

Lovely opening you get a opulent but mild saffron and settling to a great, if not familiar leather accord. Now to say this is similar to TF TL and it’s many smellalikes is clearly obvious but this has much less of the fruity, raspberry note of TL. It’s far less sharp and dense, perhaps a little more laid back and mellow, while simultaneously being less sweet and not exactly smokey but somehow more woody. The truth is I have the best there is to offer in this department, the first Clive Christian C which I think does this accord in the most complex way possible, but that’s just an opinion. I found this to be more on those lines or maybe Godolphin, a little scaled back from TL’s full on aroma. I enjoyed it of course.

The best part of this scent is the opening. Then it transforms into a smoky faint saffron. A safe and linear scent for spring & fall.
There is no oud here and there is no incense, rose, jasmine. I feel that the note pyramide is completely wrong, it describes another fragrance but not this Saffron Rare. Zero sweetness and zero florals. But there is an ethereal smoke effect with mild dark saffron. I would’t recommend it for saffron lovers because it’s not a saffron dominant scent. Anyone who likes light smoke must try this.
The sillage/projection are moderate. The longevity is nice, above the average but most of the time it stays close to the skin.
If you love saffron try the
Prada Prada Amber Pour Homme (Prada Man) much better scent IMO with stronger sillage/projection.

I like this one better than TF Tuscan Leather and Black Saffron Byredo. It’s less fruity , nothing sour. not groundbreaking but it’s solid, pretty and dense.

I didn’t like it, don’t know if it’s the saffron or the incense, but this line on perfumes is amazing. In the picture there are 6 bottles but I think the line have 7 perfumes in total. I find them more on the feminine side than on the masculine but I would still use them. I like(love really) about 4 of them in total.
Edit 2018: they added more perfumes to the lineup.

Definitely Tuscan Leather upon initial application. Dries down to something a little more spicy than TL, enough to keep it unique. I’m not getting any Oud in the mix but, then again, picking out the individual notes is not my strength. This will be called a TL clone but I won’t go that far. This stands on its own and I think it’s very well done.

This fragrance is just amazing. It starts off very sweet and transitions into a beautiful saffron and Oudh mixture with a very dark presence. The dry down is just heavenly.
