Saffron Jasmine Amber

this is a jasmine-amber delight. starts off quite warm spicy, the saffron is definitely prominent at the beginning, giving the sweeter jasmine a spicy edge. as it dries down it gets more ambery and sweet. projection could be better, but it's definitely noticeable. i yet cannot say how long it lasts, probably around 5 hours. a good fragrance, i like it. might buy it at some point. in my opinion, one of the best thomas arsov fragrances.

Definitely a dupe for Baccarat 540.

I blind bought a 2 ml sample because I couldn't find any tester in my city. I must say that I can't stand the intensity of this neither in the opening, nor in the drydown. It smells medicinal, like disinfection and I was immediately transported to my doctor's office who must be using this scent in some form. It's overly sweet and reminds me of artificial strawberry flavouring in candy and juices. There definitely isn't anything natural about this, it's chemical and synthetic. I don't smell any jasmine in it. In the drydown, it wafts of something pleasant now and then but sadly, the synthetic sweet notes overpower everything. It has impressive sillage, I had tried to rub it off my wrist twice with makeup remover but it was still there strong as ever. It doesn't help that it still lingers on various surfaces on a another day and yeah, it's still either synthetic sweet or like disinfection in a doctor's office. It spreads across the room like an aroma diffuser, it's everywhere and hard to get rid off.

The scent feels rather overpowering and dominated by a straightforward synthetic character. At times, it evokes a deodorant-like impression due to its intensity and simplified chemical profile. I also detect the medicinal sweetness noted in several earlier reviews. It is almost impossible to wash it off.

Dupe for MFK for sure, havent test the longevity yet, only on paper No coconut or lavender just like in Cloud, just pure medicinal sweetness - almost exact dupe
