BABYLON

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a fragrance named after an ancient city, but the cedar note really grounds the sweetness of the vanilla—it’s warm without being cloying. The saffron adds this subtle, almost mysterious edge that lingers nicely on my skin for hours.

The warm vanilla hits first, then the cedar rounds it out—it’s rich without being cloying, and the saffron gives it just enough edge to feel special. I keep catching whiffs of it hours later and it honestly makes my whole room smell like a palace.

The cedar comes through strong at first, then the vanilla softens it into something warm and almost cozy. Saffron adds a bit of intrigue without being overpowering. I’d wear this on a cool evening, though it’s a touch sweeter than I usually go for.
