The Night
Dominique Ropion put saffron at the front of Frédéric Malle The Night and built everything else to hold it there.

How it moves
The first breath is saffron and aldehydes, and it is loud about it. The middle belongs to Turkish Rose and agarwood (oud). It dries down to patchouli, amber and leather, close to the skin and hard to forget.
