Before I smelled like incense all the time, I smelled like roses. Safran Troublant by L’Artisan Parfumeur is a gourmand from an older time, a rose for all the time.
Rose, saffron and a light vanilla, this is a yummy kind of rose. It reminds me of ras malai, but I’ve also realized that Persian people have rose and saffron ice cream called Bastani that tastes how this smells. And it’s no surprise. When I first smelled this, my immediate thought was that it smelled edible and I could recreate it in my kitchen.
Like many people, this perfume was my gateway to niche. It was a perfume that smelled unlike anything I had available to me at the time and I still love it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀
