Saffron

Saffron is a highly valued spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus, known for its vibrant color and distinct, warm scent. In perfumery, saffron is prized for its unique olfactory qualities, adding depth and richness to fragrances. It often features in oriental and woody compositions, providing a luxurious, earthy note that enhances the overall complexity of a scent. Due to its rarity and labor-intensive harvesting process, saffron is one of the most expensive ingredients in the fragrance industry.
