Saffron

Crocus Sativus

Spicy/Warm/Smoky

Its use goes back to the dawn of time. Native to Crete, the saffron crocus only grows in direct sunlight and only blooms for a single day in autumn. It is from its pistil that we extract the essential oil, with its hints of leather and honey, capable of igniting a perfume.
