The review

On paper, Vibrant Sensual Saffron is a strong bet if you want Black Saffron for less.

Paris Corner lists 7 of the 9 notes in Black Saffron's pyramid — saffron, juniper berries, black violet, raspberry and leather and more. What it does not list: cardamom and hinoki wood; and it adds chinese grapefruit and cashmeran of its own.

It is sold as a parfum — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Paris Corner publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on saffron, juniper berries and cardamom, turns to black violet, raspberry and leather, and settles into vetiver, sueded leather and hinoki wood. That is the brief Vibrant Sensual Saffron is working from.

Dusty saffron and raspberry-stained violet draped over soft suede, exotic and quietly aristocratic.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
