Saffron Amber Agarwood Cardamom

This was one of my first scent purchases, 2012ish, I think? I can't remember -- maybe 2014... I got it from a neighbourhood pharmacy in Thessaloniki, and I was quite shocked at how well stocked it was. It was 10 EUR from memory, because it was being discontinued and so they were clearing stock. It's a damn good scent, but, as others have already mentioned, it lacks punch and projects about the same amount as hand wash soap. It lasts for a while, it just doesn't project all that much... It's a resin powerhouse, too, I must add. Mostly amber, and possibly myrrh, too. Added to that, cardamom and cinnamon, but mostly cardamom. The components work well together, no jarring elements and NO parts that stick out. I know it's discontinued, which sucks, but the biggest disappointment for me is how badly is project. There have been times throughout the day when I simply FORGOT that I was even wearing this. But it does smell good. Smooth and nice...

Great scent! I've sprayed it onto paper a few times before but this is the first time I've put it onto my skin. It smells so good. Projection and sillage are not much, but the scent itself is fantastic. Yes the bottle is inexpensive, but it is only a 50ml bottle. So in terms of cost per ml it is about the same as a lot of designer scents, although cheaper than most niche fragrances. I don't know if Korres still offer this in a 100ml bottle, because I could only find it in 50ml bottles. My bottle is called Saffron Amber Cardamom. Somehow the Agarwood got lost - either from the title or from the contents, I don't know which. Warm, dark, mysterious, without being sweet.

This smells more masculine and woody to me in summer, more feminine and sweet/ cardamom-y to me in winter. I'd say it's definitely gender neutral. I love how well-balanced this fragrance is, for me it is soft and clean enough for work, spicy and woody enough for a night out. Personally I prefer if people only notice my perfume when they are close to me, and I definitely receive compliments after I hug someone with this on. Longevity is great-- sometimes I still smell a little bit on my flannel shirts even after they have gone through the wash.

forse il mio naso è definitivamente andato perchè non riesco proprio a cogliere null'altro sul mio polso se non cardamomo, solo cardamomo, sempre cardamomo. intendiamoci: non che questo mi disgusti, tutt'altro. ma stando alle altre reviews e alla piramide olfattiva, mi aspettavo qualcos'altro, anzi qualcosa di più. peccato ch'io non senta lo zafferano, che amo molto, tantomeno l'oud. qui siamo di fronte ad un solispezia, gradevole, esplosivo all'inizio, timido poi, ma quello è.

I love this scent. Warm, woody, slightly spicy, with vanilla tones, and a touch of oud. Two squirts in the morning and I can smell this aroma all day at work. Not at all overpowering. Relaxing and pleasing. Sadly Korres don't make it anymore I'd buy a gallon of it if I could - if I could afford to.
