I can't help myself with this one, I appreciate why it might be considered scratchy & screechy and send folks running for the hills, with it's plastoc vibes and 'in your face' volume. I kinda like that about 1.3. It smells like excitement and nervous anticipation to me, it's alive, sharp and no nonsense. It reminds me of the smell approaching selfridges perfume counter, a brutal mixture of all the various smells and molecules mixing in the air. It's a hardcore sweet, jammy, metallic rose opening then immediately a nose tingling saffron note which pairs perfectly. I mean lets face it 1.3 isn't breaking any new ground but it's retreading some likeable ground very proficiently. The saffron in this kind of fragrance does smell leathery (kind faux, patent leather too) but also more like real saffron fronds than a saffron tincture does. I'm assuming this is an accord made from synthetics? but doesn't smell like the signature saffraleine either. Then there's the oud like element which is definitely apparent both real and synthetic with a kind of harsh, resinous, plastic feel. I kinda love this because as familiar as it feels and as much like an oud/rose/saffron that it is.... I can't actually site any reference to what it smells similar to? I'm genuinely tempted as I've seen this for a cheap price but I know I'd get sick of it after a few hours, and I'd have to wear it as a show piece for going out or something...it's too loud for casual wear I feel.
