🔥 The Saffron Surge

Crystal Saffron is a bold olfactory statement — a minimalist yet explosive composition built around one of perfumery’s most enigmatic ingredients: saffron. With nearly 10% Safraleine, a record-setting dose, this creation by Aurélien Guichard pushes the boundaries of spice, warmth, and modernity.

The opening is metallic and radiant: Iso E Super and Isoraldeine 95 create a shimmering, abstract freshness. Orange Oil and Cardamom Oil add a subtle citrus-spice lift, while Dihydromyrcenol injects a clean, aromatic breeze.

The heart is where the fire lives: Safraleine dominates with its leathery, spicy glow. Labdanum Absolute and Olibanum Oil deepen the resinous warmth, while Cypriol Oil and Isobutylquinoline add earthy, smoky undertones.

The drydown is musky and mineral: Ambroxan, Ambrocenide Crystals, and Globalide form a powerful, long-lasting base. Cashmeran and Ebanol add woody softness, while Vanillin and Ethyl Maltol bring a whisper of sweetness to balance the heat.
