Where it comes from
The dried stigmas of Crocus sativus. Natural extracts are rare and costly, so perfumers mostly use saffron accords built around safranal.
How perfumers use it
Essential in rose-oud and amber perfumes; adds a luxurious, leathery warmth.
Did you know? Each crocus flower gives just three stigmas, harvested by hand.
