A spicy oriental or woody aromatic--depending on the weather...
Comptoir Sud Pacifique SULTAN SAFRAN is a warm woody oriental fragrance which varies a lot on my skin according to the temperature and humidity.
In cooler weather SULTAN SAFRAN seems to my nose a somewhat feminine and rather spicy oriental, with saffron clearly detectable along with other flowers and the wood. In hot weather, SULTAN SAFRAN becomes more of a woody aromatic with a mildly masculine demeanor even in the drydown.
The complexity of this fragrance is appealing to me, but I can see how some might be put off by what they interpret to be inconsistency. Some men may find SULTAN SAFRAN too feminine, while some women may find it too masculine. The longevity is very good, and while this fragrance does wear well in the summer, I do prefer its cooler temperature personality on my skin.
