How it moves
You meet saffron and jasmine at the door. The middle belongs to amberwood and ambergris. What is left hours later is fir resin and cedar, and that is the part people follow you for.
What wearers say
3.76 out of 5 from 29,000 ratings.
- Iconic for its sweet saffron-jasmine-amberwood accord; described as an airy, 'burnt-sugar' scent that smells clean and expensive.
- Opinions on performance split: some get all-day longevity and huge sillage, others find it turns into a soft skin scent quickly.
- A hugely popular unisex compliment magnet, but many call it overhyped, polarizing, or too synthetic and metallic for the price.
Who made it
Francis Kurkdjian composed it in 2015, for Maison Francis Kurkdjian in France. Born from a Baccarat crystal 250th-anniversary commission, it escaped its limited edition to become the defining amber of the 2010s.
