Suede Et Safran, from Nishane was released in 2015. The perfumer behind this creation is Jorge Lee. It has the top notes of Ambrette (Musk Mallow) and Saffron, middle notes of Ginger and Suede, and base notes of Caraway and Musk.
I had such high hopes for Suède et Safran, but unfortunately I was only led to disappointment. To put it simply, this is a definite riff on Tuscan Leather, which I am getting so sick of smelling at this point. It’s not a bad scent, it’s just not a scent profile I enjoy at all. The ‘suede’ note is just the same leather accord used in the Tom Ford, but instead of that sickly raspberry to pair with it, you’ve got saffron; which to be honest is almost equally as annoyingly sweet and cloying. And that’s pretty much it, that’s the whole scent. For a house as great as Nishane I expected a lot better, and definitely wasn’t expecting what is essentially a glorified clone. If you enjoy Tuscan Leather, you’ll probably enjoy this too. But I don’t.
