Heart Note
Saffron
Warm, leathery, softly metallic, and slightly sweet with an unmistakable dry spice.
Saffron is spice with texture. Warm, dry, and slightly leathery, it gives a fragrance an expensive, polished edge without becoming heavy.
Provenance
The Origin
Saffron comes from the hand harvested stigmas of Crocus sativus. In perfumery, natural saffron effects are often supported or recreated with aromatic materials.
