Safraleine

About

Safraleine is a synthetic saffron-type note that evokes the warm, honeyed, leathery and slightly metallic-spicy facets of natural saffron, with subtle hay-like, balsamic and faintly animalic undertones. It reads as dry-warm and slightly smoky rather than bright or floral, offering a restrained gourmand-mineral quality. In perfumery Safraleine is used sparingly to create or bolster saffron accords and to add depth to leather, tobacco, amber, oud and gourmand compositions, where it brings long-lasting warmth, a savory-spicy edge and persistence without the cost or variability of real saffron.
