ABOUT

Saffron is a warm, resinous spice note that reads simultaneously leathery, honeyed and slightly metallic, with dry haylike and earthy facets and a faint floral warmth that gives it a savory-sweet complexity. It evokes sunlit spice bazaars and smoky leather warmth, and is used as a middle-to-base accent in oriental, woody and spicy compositions—pairing beautifully with rose, leather, oud, amber, vanilla, citrus and woods to impart depth, exoticism and a gourmand-ambered shimmer.
