Safran Troublant represents a new fragrance from L`Artisan Parfumeur designed for the Oriental-Spicy fragrance family for both men and women. Safran Troublant was established in 2002 with Bertrand Duchaufour as the perfumer. The main note of this perfume is saffron. One of the most expensive spices in the world, saffron can enthrall the senses. Saffron is also the beloved spice of the Greek gods atop their Mount Olympus. The perfume itself bears the alluring, mischief-making personality of the sweeter rose.
Saffron Troublant is a delicate combination of sandalwood and red rose, both symbols of passionate love. The saffron with scents of vanilla makes it a dangerous and tempting elixir – one that beguiles the senses and roused all the senses at the same time. Amply sensual, enhanced with sandalwood and round ginger goodness. The start of Saffran Troublant is a heavy saffron spiced composition interspersed with hints of cardamom, ginger, and clove. An obstinate fragrance, it would hardly budge for minutes on end before gently melting away into a sweet milky elixir, fading as gracefully, as you would ever expect from the hand of Olivia Giacobetti. The end notes now turn a bit smooth and gentle coming from the sandalwood, adding in a little sweetness courtesy of vanilla, and just a wee pinch of sweet spice. The actual saffron would be slightly subdued and not-so-obviously prominent, drifting amidst the roses entwined into this pool of scent.
Just like any other perfume, Premier Figuier carries exclusively the brand’s design, a clear seven-sided glass block form that is presented with a light yellow zinc lid and orange markings.
Safran Troublant belongs to the Oriental fragrance family, with all the elements of a truly gorgeous rosy scent: sweet, warm, pungent, balanced, and totally perfect, one breath of the glory would overwhelm you. If you are someone who loves all things new, charming scent with an adventurous vibe that inspires excitement, Safran Troublant is everything you can wish for.
A Perfume Composition
Rightly noted: it is composed of exceptionally blended raw ingredients which work in harmony to establish a rich and beautiful scent. The creation is truly an embodiment of the quality and creativity hallmark found in every perfume produced by L’Artisan Parfumeur.
Top Notes
The top notes of Safran Troublant yield a first explosion of freshness and spice and prepare for deeper layers.
Saffron: The chief top-note, saffron has a very singular, slightly spicy-warm scheme. It launches the fragrance into the realm of exoticism and luxury, seizing all senses, in an opening that is completely warm.
Rose: A tiny touch of rose softens the saffron, because it creates a kind of florally bright spot that balances the spice and enriches the general complexity.
Heart Notes
Once the top notes begin to settle down, the heart of Safran Troublant unveils its glamorous promise: a wide, warm, and comforting flavor profile.
Vanilla: This heart is inhabited by a lush vanilla, which adds a sort of creamy sweetness to the mixture. This vanilla is not really sugary but smoothened and enveloping; it gives the impression of warmth and comfort.
Sandalwood: Sandalwood in the heart comes with creamy, woody profundity, combining excellently with vanilla and thereby enriching the fragrance.
Milk: A little note of milk added introduces an interesting creamy facet, making this scent feel all the more comforting and soft.
Base Notes
The base notes of Safran Troublant are really a synonym for anchoring the fragrance, thus establishing a long-lasting and unforgettable finish.
Amber: Amber very much softens the base to a warm, resinous, and slightly sweet one, thereby increasing longevity and depth in the fragrance.
Musk: Musk brings in a soft, powdery aspect to the whole notes which seem to melt into each other in a very subtle sensuality to the fragrance.
Honey: Very, very subtle streak of honey through the base adds a natural sweetness and works marvelously with and within the saffron and vanilla, creating a harmonious and very well-rounded finish.
Longevity and Weight
Duration
Moreover, Safran Troublant is featured for its great duration. Its scent was made to be with someone the whole day by revealing all the elements that go into composing the perfume — from morning through night. On average, Safran Troublant remains pretty long on the skin, usually around eight to ten hours, and well after the top notes have evaporated, heart and base notes continue to linger. It is certainly a good perfume to choose from if one is looking for a perfume that will still be there or remembered after a whole day’s activities.
Silage
The silage is very moderate to strong-saffron Troubling fragrance, marking quite a presence but not being overbearing. It projects beautifully and leaves a fine but distinct trail for one to appreciate it by those nearby. This level of sillage is extremely apt for people who want their scents to be perceived but not disturb the places where they travel. Thus, making it just an optimal balance between subtleness and presence.

Comparison with Fragrances
Within L’Artisan Parfumeur Collection
Safran Troublant is quite different from other L’Artisan Parfumeur fragrances in being the most unique, rich, and elegant interlacing. Unlike other floral or fresh scents- Mûre et Musc or La Chasse aux Papillons- Safran Troublant offers an even more gourmand and complex blend that evokes warmth and comfort. Within the L’Artisan Parfumeur family, the stand-out names must be Safran Troublant: saffron, vanilla, and amber.
In the Market
In the larger market, the “Santal Majuscule” of Serge Lutens or “Safran Colognise” of Nishane all represent other well-known saffron fragrances in competition with Safran Troublant. While each of the competing fragrances is unique and in a different field of appeal, the true hallmark of Safran Troublant is in its wonderfully balanced inviting nature, creating that utterly warming aroma which appeals to fans of opulent and extravagant perfumes.
