Boss Bottled Oud Saffron

Hugo Boss Bottled Oud Saffron, smells sexy! Opening: You get and rose and saffron right away. The saffron and rose comes across fairly masculine, I'm impressed with how well blended those notes are and how masculine it comes across, very pleasant smell. There is oud here but it hasn't stolen the show, it's just in the background giving the rose and saffron a subtle woody base. Very high quality, very well blended. Middle: The top notes of rose and saffron start to dry down and the freshness goes away, this floral sweetness starts to become more prominent and this fragrance becomes REALLY SEXY. You start to get more oud as well which is a very safe friendly oud, not stinky or dirty in any way. Usually a sweet floral fragrance is going to smell quite feminine but the sweetness isn't over the top and the wood notes from the oud give a nice masculine touch. But there definitely is a mix of masculine and feminine notes here. leaning more masculine. Base: The floral notes die down a bit and oud takes over making a well blended sexy sweet woody combination. don't get me wrong this does smell like oud, but the oud is very safe and subtle and it never goes overly stinky or overly medicinal. Anyone that has experience with real oud would pick up that this is probably not natural oud but whatever they're using has been used on purpose to give the fragrance more of an inoffensive quality. The deep floral notes still linger around in the background. Performance: Excellent. With 4-6 sprays I get about 10 hours. Decent projection for first 2 hours. Sillage very good. Overall: Not gonna be a people pleaser or show stopper for the average person, but for the right occasion when you need something sexy and sweet, this fragrance will shine. If you're looking for something that smells more traditionally masculine, this wouldn't be my first choice. This fragrance blends masculine and feminine notes. Best occasions to wear this would be night time, colder weather and for date nights. Give it a try if you're looking for something different.

This is the best fragrance ever. My story with this fragrance And how i ended up choosing this fragrance as my signature scent. First time i sniff this fragrance was about 7 month ago. I didn't know any thing about fragrances at that time I just had a dream to have my signature scent. I went to the shop and i tested some fragrances like Stronger with you amber and that one. To my nose it was very similar to amber fragrances. Maybe because labdanum in it. This scent is very sweet it.Sometimes feels like that you are smelling honey. But, I don't think it is bad in any way or over powering. In the opening i smell different notes than what existed. I describe the opening as an apple note with hints of leather and a very small hint of Oud ,laubdanum and smoky rose coming from the base note and heart note. After it dies down. I smell a mix of labdanum and rose. Which is very beautiful and distinctive and seems natural. I found that many people who smell this fragrance describe it as a Calm scent. two persons told me that Why i choosed Hugo boss oud saffron to be my signature scent? 1- Projection I was looking for a scent to express my style. To make a statement. I was looking for something to be a noticeable scent I am not putting a deodorant. The projection here is very good. 2- Niche perfume in a lower price. It is very Unique scent. That people can distinguish it and remember it easier. To be unforgettable. 3-Match my preferences I love amber scents, saffron, sweet fragrances and at the same time smoky rose. Just wow Only one Disadvantage. The opening is not the best part of the scent. The saffron note doesn't smell like natural saffron. It is pungent. And if your nose is not super clear. You will feel it is artificial. After 3 months, The opening apealed very bad for me, it smell like an apple scent mabye an apple pie that seems synthetic,Althought, after it dries i get the best smell , i noticed that it has strong creamy milky notes.

Ah, Oud saffron. This is the fragrance i would wholeheartedly run to if i was ever asked to pick a daily wear scent for the rest of my life. Oud saffron is by no means a oud heavy fragrance (think oud ispahan, oud wood) in my honest opinion. The oud is definitely present, and very much there, but it sits as more of a strong base until the dry down and gives room for the other notes to shine. It is truly phenomenal stuff, the top notes are a pungently strong rose and saffron, sharing many of the same scent notes as D&G's mysterious night, another saffron rose oud fragrance, but while mysterious night is more mature and more "grown up" feeling more formal, saffron rose instead has a lot of brightness to it. That brightness combines with the warm oud and subtle swirls of labdanum and create this indescribable "aura". I've worn this all throughout winter and a couple of sprays in the morning is enough to imbed the scent in clothing for a good couple days. Colder temperatures are this gem's bread and butter but if you are careful you can pull this off during fall. There is a certain vague quality that may make it unlikeable for some, it's hard to put into words but a slight mineral-y or boozy? (not sure if that's the best way to describe it) quality that separates it from any oud fragrances in the Boss line. It instead distinguishes itself as a category of its own. I would definitely recommend trying this on paper and then on skin before buying and avoiding blind buying altogether as it is not everyones cup of tea, but for those who do like it, this is a treat of the loveliest kind. Combining this with Mysterious night is an even better way to take this fragrance to a whole new level.

If you were to sample this scent without knowing it's brand, you'd think it's some fancy niche oud fragrance because the quality is quite exceptional. Designer perfumers rarely go out of their way to create something daring and striking as this because it's definitely not made for mass appeal. Oud Saffron is insanely good. The rose and saffron create a very strong opening or "pungent" as I've heard some say. Might still appeal to some but the real equaliser is when you hit the middle and dry down where the oud comes out mixed with some rose. The projection and sillage is very good. In terms of sillage, its definitely on the stronger side so you'd have to be quite conservative with your sprays because people will smell you when you walk in. Projection is eternal especially when you spray on wool. I have cardigans and jackets from 2 months ago that still carry the scent. With skin i could still smell it on my wrist after a day at work so 9-12 hours easy. This is definitely one for the winter, and even then should be used sparingly otherwise you risk choking people out. Usage in fall could apply too as long as it doesn't get a bit warm. I don't care who you are. There's no way anyone pulls this sort of oud in summer and spring. The rose and saffron would simply be unbearable... If you're into Ouds this one really deserves to be part of your collection.

Oud Saffron was a blind buy for me... Oud Saffron is a fall and winter stunner for those that enjoy fragrances that contain the dominate notes of: warm spicy, oud, rose, amber and leather! 💯 When I wear Oud Saffron it reminds me of Issey Miyake Or Encens, Dior Fahrenheit Gucci Guilty Absolute and Moschino Toy Boy. Despite the these similarities that come to mind Oud Saffron still has its own scent identity. The rose/saffron notes have been masterfully blended so that the fragrance doesn't smell feminine but instead smells sexy with a lot of masculinity! 👍 With this being said...I suspect Oud Saffron will be more appealing to men than women. Nonetheless, women who enjoy masculine oud/rose/amber/leather/spicy fragrances should also consider Oud Saffron. 🤣 Oud Saffron is niche juice in a designer bottle with discounted designer price tag! 🔥 🥳 Performance and projection are above average and not nuclear making Oud Saffron an easy fragrance to wear for its entire lifecycle. Oud Saffron is a workhorse and most people will easily yield 12 of performance. Oud Saffron is an extremely safe blind buy for people that enjoy various formulations of oud dominate fragrances. Newer noses or those that struggle with oud dominate fragrances should proceed with caution and consider sampling Oud Saffron first! 🧐🤓 Overall: 9/10
