Botanical Name: Crocus sativus
Plant Part: Flower
Extraction Method: Solvent Extraction
Origin: India
Description: Saffron crocus grows to 20–30 cm and bears up to four flowers, each with three vivid crimson stigmas. In order to produce Saffron Absolute, hundreds of thousands of dried flower stigmas are needed.
Common Uses: Saffron Absolute is an amazing ingredient for aromatics such as perfumes, scented candles, incense sticks, room fresheners and soaps and other cosmetics.
** It is important to note that all absolutes are extremely concentrated by nature. They should not be evaluated in this state unless you are accustomed to the undiluted fragrance. For those trying Absolutes for the first time, we strongly recommend they be evaluated in dilution. Otherwise, the complexity of the fragrance – particularly the rare and exotic notes – become lost.
Absolutes can be very viscous or even solid and can be difficult to extract from the bottle. Gently warming the absolute in a water bath will melt the product and make it easier to use.
