More about Matiere Premiere Crystal Saffron
A luminous, almost translucent saffron — Aurélien Guichard chose the brand's rarest material, Greek saffron oil from Kozani, and stripped it of its eastern heaviness. Musk habanolide brightens its core; ambroxan adds a peppery, addictive radiance; Somali incense gives the woody-smoky trail. Light cut into stone.
