Eight & Bob Sérénité en Bourgogne 100ml

Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world by weight and one of the most difficult in perfumery, because a fraction too much turns a composition medicinal.

Here it opens with pink pepper in a golden haze, then smoky myrrh, then patchouli and vanilla bourbon at the base. Burgundy is the reference and the fragrance has the same logic as the wine, which is depth arriving slowly rather than a fruit-forward opening.

Sophisticated is doing real work as a word for once.
