Saffron amber · Crocus sativus · Pampore · Kashmir

Dusk in cold weather, one press before you leave.

Hand-graded crocus stigma from Pampore — roughly a hundred and fifty flowers to the gram — over amberwood, benzoin resin and Mysore sandalwood. The saffron opens bright and almost metallic, then leathers as it warms. The room keeps it after you have gone.

The material

Crocus sativus, pressed

Crocus sativus

GI-certified stigma, hand-picked at first light and separated under a tin roof. On the plate saffron reads sweet; in a composition it does the opposite — dry, faintly metallic, almost leathered.

How it behaves

First 20 minutes

Saffron, bright and nearly metallic, with a snap of pink pepper.

20 minutes to 2 hours

Amber and jasmine open; the saffron turns leathered and warm over a creamy sandalwood.

2 hours onward

Amber, cedar and resin. The part of it a room keeps.

Worn with

A.003 Quiet Hour

Quiet Hour on skin first, Ember over it, and less of it than feels right. The sandalwood takes the metal out of the saffron.
