About Saffron in Perfumery

Saffron belongs to the spicy family and functions as a heart note — the character and soul of a fragrance, unfolding once the top notes settle. The character — the soul of the scent. Rooted in the rich traditions of Middle Eastern perfumery, it is prized for its depth and authenticity.
