Seduction Man
Evenings and cold weather are where Saphir Seduction Man Eau de Parfum 200ml belongs, and the 200ml bottle means you can be careless with it.
The opening is sharper than the name suggests. Grapefruit and mandarin orange come first, one bitter and one sweet, and mint runs straight through the middle of them with a cold, almost toothpaste clean lift that lasts a few minutes and then steps aside. What follows is the interesting turn. Rose appears, not as a feminine flourish but as the dark red material perfumers use to give a masculine scent depth, and cinnamon wraps around it, dry and hot and a little dusty, the two of them together reading like spiced fruit rather than like a bouquet.
Then it settles and gets serious. Leather is the dominant material in the base, dry rather than creamy, with that faintly smoky, slightly bitter quality that good leather notes have. Patchouli pushes it earthwards and amber warms the finish, resinous and soft, so the trail ends up warm, dry and a shade sweet.
Longevity is good, six hours and often more, and projection is strong for the first hour before it draws in closer. Restaurants, bars and winter nights out suit it. It is aimed at men and worn by men who want to be noticed without wearing something sugary.
Saphir is Spanish, has been making and selling fragrance since 1940, and started out in Zaragoza as the family run Almacenes Corinto warehouse. The company is still wholly in Spanish hands and keeps production at home, at a Zaragoza factory with its own research centre, selling its own ranges beside the designer fragrances it holds licences for, all of it aimed at keeping prices reasonable.
