Why on Earth was this discontinued? This is such a fresh, sexy, nostalgic scent. One of those that has you trying to locate the happy, sweet memory it inspires but never quite pinning it down. I...

If smelling like a very sweet vanilla rice pudding is your thing, go for it, but this fragrance is way too foody (yucky) for me. First I can’t smell any saffron or barely, then the rose quickly...

A stunning example of Olivia Giacobetti's absolutely spectacular alchemy. Safran Troublant is refined, pillowy, dreamy, saffrony glory, with a soft, breathy vanilla and rose. Desert island...

A spicy Gourmand?! Yes please!!! Three cheers for yet another interesting creation from Bertrand Duchaufour (the nose) and L’Artisan (the house). Trust that I love a fun and youthful, “so sweet...

L'Artisan released Safran Troublant in a trio of spice perfumes called Les Epices de la Passion. Also part of the set were Poivre Piquant and Piment Brulant. Never smelled 'em so I can't critique...

My one and only complaint about this fragrance is that its longevity is only around 4 hours, which is not bad as fragrances go, but considering the high price tag, feels wasteful. I'm not sure if...

This fragrance is just lovely - very soft and feminite. I have a small sample of it and have worn it twice. The previous descriptions of the notes are accurate, so I won't repeat previous...

This just strikes a chord of perfection in me. I find it just so hauntingly sweetly beautiful; I imagine a soft warm but autumnal wind coming from far-away steppes, bringing dreams and memories of...

Oh, this is such a wonderful scent. It doesn't feel spicy to me at all, and barely rosy, just a hint. What I do get is a comforting sweetness, though not at all sugary or cloying. A creamy...

Notes: saffron, sandalwood, rose and vanilla.   This fragrance opens with spicy saffron which thankfully is not as loud as it is in Aoud Saffron. Here it is a well-behaved spice on a base of...

Wish this was a little heavier in scent/ sillage. This one must vary widely depending on skin chemistry. On me, it's spicy, warm, even hot. Troubling only in sexiness! It smells like a red dried...

I had a bottle of this an I loved it. It is sweet and spicy an interesting scent that you don't typically come across. The only thing I noticed as time went on was that it kind of smells like a...

Safran Troublant is one of Olivia Giacobetti's beautiful fragrances. Although all of Ms. Giacobetti's fragrances are light, well balanced, almost ethereal, Safran Troublant is a little too sweet...

Despite of its name (safran = saffron) well, I do not get the spices here. The opening is fruity, but the rose, powdery but fresh, takes the main role. It's a delightful floral scent, constructed...

Very pretty fragrance. I love the vanilla and rose notes, there really is a creamy sweet quality with a lovely fresh rose note. The only problem on my skin is the spice. The saffron is very strong...

This scent is absolutely delicious. I'm not a huge fan of gourmand fragrances but Safran Troublant is heavenly. It reminds me of my favorite saffron and rose petal ice cream; sweet, creamy, with a...

I'm loving this! The saffron is present in the opening and slowly fades to a nice blend of spices. I feel transported somewhere warm and exotic - and during the New England winter, that is just...

I have always wondered why so may people dislike cumin and saffron in their fragrances. The vanilla, rose, saffron accord is fabulous. It's pretty but just a little weird which suits me...

Like others below, I find myself surprised to like this so much. I nearly didn't order a sample because-- saffron? But the reviews intrigued me. I didn't test it right away. Initial reaction...
