The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025 by Michael Malul London and created by Tristan Badard, Saffron + Sugar is a Floral Fruity fragrance that balances the exotic warmth of saffron with the sweetness of caramel. The composition opens with bright citrus notes like bergamot and lemon zest, which mingle seamlessly with fruity accords such as pear and raspberry. At its heart, it features pink pepper and red rose, adding a spicy twist before settling into a base of sandalwood, amber, patchouli, oakmoss, and musk. This fragrance is neither too sweet nor too heavy, making it an ideal blend for both day and night.
Saffron + Sugar has a strong presence, so one or two sprays are sufficient. The top notes fade within an hour, but the base notes linger for hours, providing warmth and depth. It's best worn close to skin rather than sprayed liberally around a room.
