Launched in 2019, SAFFRON WOOD / 91 is a unisex Eau de Parfum by Parle moi de Parfums, created by Michel Almairac. It belongs to the woody oriental family and unfolds with a clear, deliberate structure where spice, flower and wood are brought into elegant balance. The composition feels refined and composed, offering a distinctive presence shaped by contrast, restraint and beautifully focused materials.
The opening is built around saffron, a note with unmistakable character. It introduces the fragrance with warmth, spice and a subtly textured aura that immediately sets a sophisticated tone. There is something polished yet expressive in this first impression, as if the perfume were revealing its identity through a single, confident gesture. At the heart, rose softens the composition and adds a velvety floral nuance. Rather than changing its direction, this note enriches the fragrance, lending harmony and a more nuanced, graceful dimension.
Cedar anchors the base with quiet authority. Clean, structured and serene, it gives the scent its woody backbone and a sense of depth that remains measured and modern. The movement from saffron to rose to cedar feels seamless, with each element contributing to a refined olfactory silhouette that is both expressive and controlled.
Presented in a 100 ml format, SAFFRON WOOD / 91 reflects an author-driven approach to perfumery, one that values clarity of composition and the beauty of a well-defined accord. It is a fragrance with a composed yet memorable personality: spicy in its opening, softly floral at its core and firmly woody in its foundation. A sophisticated choice for those drawn to contemporary perfumes with elegance, balance and a distinct point of view.
