Drunk Saffron is an incredibly decadent, highly atmospheric amber-gourmand fragrance from the rebel South Korean niche house BORNTOSTANDOUT®, composed by perfumer Honorine Blanc. Conceived as a bottled sensory experience of a velvet-draped night, the fragrance tells an olfactive tale of sipping aged liquor and spilling forbidden secrets. It is built around the striking contrast of dark, warming alcohol and sharp, precious spice. It opens with a mouthwatering, rich canopy of smooth, aged cognac and sweet, jammy plum. It tells a story of absolute luxury and seductive desire, shifting smoothly into a heart of intense saffron threads, rugged leather, and rich roasted coffee before anchoring itself on a deeply smooth, comforting base of sweet vanilla, sensual musk, and earthy Indonesian patchouli.
