Saffron

48 perfumes

Derived from the delicate stigmas of the Crocus sativus flower, saffron is a precious, labor-intensive spice. Its olfactive profile is complex: leathery, metallic, and honeyed, with a distinct hay-like earthiness. Typically acting as a sophisticated bridge between top and heart notes, it adds immediate radiance and depth. In Gulf perfumery, saffron is an iconic pillar, often paired with oud and rose to evoke a sense of heritage, opulence, and the warm, welcoming hospitality synonymous with traditional Arabian luxury.
