Images of Crocus sativa

The reddish-gold transparent liquid of Indian saffron co2 (Crocus sativa) immediately and rapidly begings to fill the room with its aromatic aura. It is not an easy aroma to describe-immensely rich and powerful, with a warm spicy-herbaceous, somewhat coumarinic, powdery, musky, honeyed bouquet. It is very complex and potent-one of the essences that totally envelopes one. Once it fills the room with its aroma that basic olfactory bouquet remains intact for many hours gradually maturing into a powdery, honeyed herbaceous bouquet.

In perfumery can be used in sacred perfumes, incense creations, geographical perfumes, historical bouquets, apothecary perfumes, culinary creations, accent in high class floral perfumes; special addition to colognes in trace amounts.
