It was a blind buy, because I really enjoy plum in perfumes. I was hoping for something along the lines of a plum liqueur with a touch of the Orient. The composition opens with a very sweet, ripe plum splashed with a hint of alcohol, accompanied by leather and patchouli. My first association was rather unusual, as if I had opened a jar of plum preserves in a cool, damp cellar. That earthy patchouli is very noticeable here and, unfortunately, it’s a note I don’t get along with. However, once that initial musty, cellar like impression passes and the patchouli settles down, the fragrance becomes much more pleasant. The plum returns to the forefront, this time more liqueur like and dense, accompanied by soft leather and a subtle coffee note. The saffron suggested by the name is sadly very scarce. As the fragrance develops, a gourmand leaning vanilla and a touch of musk become more prominent, smoothing the composition. Interestingly, at this stage the patchouli almost completely disappears and the scent becomes creamier and more comforting. Longevity on my skin is around six hours. The projection is quite noticeable at first, but over time the scent settles closer to the skin. In summary, Drunk Saffron turned out to be more of a drunken plum. It’s an interesting composition, sweet, but not typically gourmand thanks to the additions of leather and patchouli. I would definitely recommend testing before buying, as the first impression can be quite challenging.
