Safanad
Safanad by Parfums de Marly is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2017 in the luxury price tier. It opens with sweet orange, pear and petitgrain, moves into ylang-ylang, orange blossom and sambac jasmine and dries down to amber, vanilla and sandalwood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
- Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.
Heart
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
