How it unfolds
-
What the brand keeps back
In the Mystères Olfactifs collection the house chooses not to reveal the formula. For Safran Secret, its own text names only saffron and woody notes, and this page keeps to those two. Anything more would be a guess, and the brand has made a point of leaving the rest to you.
-
Saffron fields in thick fog
The perfume is drawn from a mysterious adventure of Thibaud Crivelli among saffron fields wrapped in thick fog. The brand puts soft, spicy saffron at the centre of that scene, a spice it describes as soft rather than sharp.
-
Softness against intensity
Against the saffron the brand sets intense, warm woody notes. The contrast is a soft spice against a deep wood, and it is the only structure the brand gives. How the two meet, and what the wood is made of, is left for the wearer to find out on skin.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Taking your time
Because so little is described, it is worth testing on skin before deciding. Apply one or two sprays to the wrist or chest and follow the scent as it settles, rather than judging it from the first moment. At 30% it is an extrait: dense, close to the skin and built to last.
Who it speaks to
People who like to interpret a scent for themselves instead of receiving it with a full pyramid, and who like the idea of saffron set against wood. It fits evenings, dinners and the cooler months, and it suits someone who enjoys a little curiosity in a perfume.
Why choose Maison Crivelli Safran Secret
Among Maison Crivelli's perfumes it belongs to the collection where the formula is deliberately kept private, which suits anyone who finds that interesting rather than frustrating. The perfume itself stays closed, but the scene behind it is clear: saffron fields in fog.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
