Launched in 2015 by Rosendo Mateu Olfactive Expressions, NO 4 Saffron, Oud, Vanilla is a harmonious blend of woody and warm spicy accords. The fragrance opens with the bright freshness of Calabrian bergamot and bitter orange blossom, leading into the heart where saffron and jasmine create an elegant tension. This is followed by a rich base of oud, vanilla, and benzoin that reads as earthy and powdery, evoking the warmth and depth of aged woods.
