The review
On paper, Darkside of Saffron is a reasonable bet if you want Tuscan Leather for less.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Tuscan Leather's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
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 The Dua Brand 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, raspberry and thyme, turns to olibanum and night blooming jasmine, and settles into leather, black suede and amberwood. That is the brief Darkside of Saffron is working from.
Top
- saffron
- raspberry
- thyme
Heart
- olibanum
- night blooming jasmine
Base
- leather
- black suede
- amberwood
For the one who wants raw leather softened by raspberry and saffron, a smoky powerhouse that announces authority before you enter the room.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
