Faces Of Francis
Aldehydes and saffron give a metallic start, then pistachio and driftwood take over the heart. Oud, cypriol, ambergris and vetiver close on a very dry base, smoky and with nothing sweet left in it.
Gao
Saffron opens over an oud that gurjun balsam, juniper and cypriol turn earthy and smoky. Amber and patchouli carry it on without sweetening — forceful, very long-wearing, made for evenings.
