Saffron & Red Roses by Jo Malone
After
much deliberation I settled on Jo Malone's Saffron fragrance and to add to it,
I’m layering Saffron with Malone’s Red Roses.
Both are equally delicious on their own.
Malone refers to her “saffron” cologne as saffron mixed with pink pepper
and incense. The sales girl at Nordstrom
told me it smelled like “leather” – other reviewers describe it as “dark, smoky
and haunting.” It is definitely a dark,
moody & musky scent – unlike anything I’ve ever tried. I did not immediately love it but now I’m
totally hooked. It is not super intense
and reminds me a bit of the Delirium “suede and smoke” candle I blogged about
last week. I would describe it as exotic
and maybe woodsy with a hint of vanilla though there is something peppery about
it too. I’m loving the deeper more
intense scents of Malone’s entire “cologne intense” line.
I
would think it would be ideal layered with any of Malone’s lighter floral
scents. Layered with the roses scent (my pick) it
is perfection!
