I think the name of the fragrance translates into 'Saffron Spell' and I find that to be very accurate. My first sample vial was addictive, and I could not stop sniffing my wrists when I had this...

Strong saffron top notes, and then it reminds me of baking gingerbread cookies, even though they don't contain saffron. But there's a warm, milky vanilla sweetness in the dry-down that has a homey...

Oh boy - what a scent! I had heard this would be good and I was afraid of how dominant the sandalwood might be on my skin. AH! No, this was blended so well and smelled so simultaneously unique as...

This is just wonderful. The first time I tried it, I had a stronger fragrance on my other wrist and thought that it was good while the Safran was nonexistent. Turned out my nose mixed the two...

Well, well, well, now I too know what it's like to have a scent that now you smell and then two seconds later "poof" and it is completely GONE! Where did it go? I'd love to know! But my, I love it...

A beautiful rose scent. First the saffron, then the red rose and vanilla and sandalwood. Very soft and lovely. I wear it often.

If you din't like rubbery notes in Tea for Two, this one is perfect for you - creamy and soft saffron with ginger.

The sweetest saffron perfume ever. Like fragrant sweetened rice and milk in a fancy South Eas Asian restaurant.

The first spritz (or dab) is a shocker - it's all curry and smoke on me, as if I'm in the last few moments of a Serge Lutens and I've walked into a Mediterranean kitchen overflowing with yummy,...

This smells marvelous, but the staying power is non-existant. I get the rose, the safran, a bit of sandalwood -- very nice--, and the vanilla. This is not sickly sweet, but I can't rate a fragrance...

I’ve seen many on the fragrance board say this is their favorite in the spice trio, but I prefer Piment Brulant. Having said that, anything I've tried that's even remotely similar to Andy Tauer's...

I really love saffron and had great expectations when I tried this scent. Unfortunately, it smells like smoked sausage on me. Honestly. I like to eat smoked sausage, but smelling like it? It would...

Absolutely lovely, but doesn't shout about it. BasiaS's comment about creamy-milky is exactly right. Reminds me of Indian rice pudding with aded rose water and saffron. I can detect the merest hint...

It is indeed a very light and wearable gourmand scent. It is unique, very unusual. Safran Troublant is warm and sweet, but not overly sweet. The safran note gives the scent a nice oriental touch....

There are more reviews for this under Les Epices de la Passion - Gold Philtre. A pretty mix of vanilla, saffron, sandalwood and some rose. Overall, this is gentler than Agent Provocateur, and more...

Extreme sweetness. Like syrup. Vanilla Gourmand. And it lacks even a pretense of character.
