Safanad is a beautifully blended, elegantly creamy orange blossom fragrance with a radiant sweetness that lingers warmly on the skin. It opens with a delicate burst of juicy pear and fresh citrus notes, seamlessly transitioning into a lush bouquet of white florals dominated by orange blossom, accented by a subtle ylang-ylang softness. The dry down reveals a warm, well-rounded foundation of vanilla, amber, and sandalwood, creating a sensuous, skin-scent-like aroma reminiscent of sun-warmed skin, luxurious beach oils, or a high-end suntan lotion. Despite the soft projection and moderate longevity—typically lasting 4 to 6 hours—it remains pleasantly present and satisfyingly intense, especially on cooler days. The scent is feminine, balanced, and effortlessly wearable, suitable for day or night, and evokes a sense of cozy elegance and refined sensuality. It shares aesthetic similarities with Jean Paul Gaultier Classique and Elie Saab Le Parfum, but avoids the cloying or harsh traits often found in those fragrances, offering a more refined and mature interpretation of sweet floral elegance.
