Ambery Saffron
“Baccarat Rouge's saffron-amber fire, democratized into a Dossier bottle.”
Dossier's 2024 Ambery Saffron is widely positioned as an alternative to Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Baccarat Rouge 540 (2015): saffron opens over cedar and jasmine, settling on amber. Amber, woody and warm-spicy accords lead, with a white-floral and slightly metallic edge. The saffron gives the amber a bright, slightly leathery warmth. Wears strongest in fall, versatile day-to-night.
