Smoky, leathery and richly textured, HEADSPACE Safran Extrait de Parfum explores the dry warmth of saffron through the distinctive aroma of black tea.
Created by perfumer Julien Rasquinet, Safran opens with the smoky impression of Lapsang Souchong tea, sharpened by green galbanum, aromatic cardamom and pepper. Saffron emerges at the heart alongside mate and olibanum, while powdery orris brings a softer contrast to the composition.
Leather, osmanthus and patchouli deepen the base, with the subtle fruitiness of osmanthus adding another dimension to the fragrance’s darker facets. Rich yet refined, Safran balances smoke, spice and leather in an intriguing Extrait de Parfum.
