Saffron
Saffron presents a complex olfactory profile that is simultaneously spicy, leathery, slightly metallic, and subtly hay-like. Its initial impression can be intense and dry, often described as warm and radiant. It possesses a unique duality, being both earthy and airy. The spice facet is not sharp like cinnamon or clove, but rather a dry, almost dusty warmth with hints of bitterness. The leathery aspect is soft and supple, not harsh or smoky. There's often a subtle sweetness or honeyed nuance, particularly in higher quality extracts, alongside a distinctive metallic tang that adds a unique edge. Its intensity is moderate to high, with good projection, and it typically functions as a heart or base note, lending warmth, texture, and longevity to a composition. It evolves slowly, its leathery and hay-like facets becoming more prominent over time, while maintaining its characteristic spicy warmth.
