(I go in-depth on why clean perfumes don’t last as long as conventional perfumes in my clean perfume guide here.) Clean perfumes simply don’t perform the same, because they’re not filled with the same amount of synthetics. If you’re used to the longevity of conventional perfumes, this may be difficult for you to adjust to if the “clean” aspect makes no difference to you. This is characteristic of all clean perfumes and not just Dossier. Longevity is on par with other clean perfume brands, though will probably not last as long as their conventional versions. On the performance spectrum, the projection and sillage of Dossier perfumes isn’t as strong as their non-clean counterparts, about medium strength in comparison to other fellow clean perfume brands and stronger than 100% natural perfume brands. I can’t say how close this is to its fragrance inspiration, but I can say that as its own perfume, Ambery Saffron is a cozy scent I enjoy wearing daily during winter. I get a ton of warmth from start to finish that’s creamy, slightly sweet, and slightly earthy.ĭespite having Saffron in the name, I don’t get saffron as a dominant note.

Ambery Saffron is feminine leaning while Aromatic Star Anise is decidedly masculine. Out of the two my definite favorite is Ambery Saffron as Aromatic Star Anise is inspired by Dior Sauvage.

I tried two Dossier perfumes – Ambery Saffron and Aromatic Star Anise. So what is a perfume lover who needs a YSL Homme, Tom Ford’s Soleil Blanc and Le Labo Santal 33 in their life to do? The solution: Dossier.

Dossier also solves a major paint point for women – designer fragrances want to bankrupt us all! Dossier doesn’t believe in having to pay hundreds of dollars in markup for beautiful fragrances. Their vegan products are ethical, sustainable, and sourced from the highest quality ingredients. Dossier is a clean fragrance brand pushing the envelope when it comes to transparency and affordability.
