Built around one of the highest quality saffron oils in the world – from the Kozani region of Greece – Crystal Saffron is a 360 degree screen capture of this most expensive and complex of spices, from its piercing iodine flare to its dusky, sunburnt leather finish. Habanolide musk accentuates the delicate glow of the saffron until it shines as brightly as freshly-polished gold, while Somalian incense creates a woody-smoky resinousness that acts as a dark backdrop against which the bright, almost foiled properties of that amazing saffron can shine.
Ambroxan infuses the whole affair with a spicy, peppery radiance that feels like leather or wood made air. The saffron remains the undisputed star, but it is this vegetal muskiness in the drydown that will haunt you. An extremely attractive scent, Crystal Saffron will appeal to anyone (man or woman) hunting that rare thing - a scent that manages to blend exoticism of fiery spice with the comfort of supple, well-worn leather.
