Soooo... This is a fragrance I've wanted to try for ages for several reasons. 1) I'd love to own ANYTHING from this house as the bottles are lovely. 2) I LOVE saffron. 3) They seem to have a respectful, niche pedigree. Maybe that's the wrong word, certainly a perceived respectability as far as I can tell. 4) I've seen this one in particular at very reasonable prices at online discount retailers. Firstly, don't let the Tuscan Leather comparisons put you off, not only the fact that TL is a decent and popular fragrance and that might be wholly appealing to you, but because it's not a copy. It's strikes you as a 'TL lite' to begin with, but for me doesn't have anywhere near the nose wrinkling WTF'ness or 'raspberry' note people often describe. This is generally drier, thinner, woodier and as it dries down becomes more prominent (in a subtle way) with saffron. I like the way it evolves but it's likely to always live in the shadow of the more boombastic end of this type or sub genre of fragrance. I actually think it would be less full on or potentially annoying than TL, but that also mean it's not as rich, or big a statement piece and not as strong or long lasting either. I see this as a trade off, if you even want to make direct comparison which would be obvious (and all I've done so far in this review) but refrain if you can and accept this for the fragrance it is. I enjoyed it.
