It takes 150,000 flowers to make 1 kilogram of Saffron spice. It takes even more to make the oil. Saffron (Crocus sativus) is the most expensive spice on earth, and in perfumery, it is the ultimate status symbol.
Triefta Aroma Nusantara offers a specialized Saffron "Attar" (co-distilled with Sandalwood) or Saffron Absolutes for the ultra-niche market. This is the scent of royalty.
The Molecule: Safranal The value of Saffron oil depends on the concentration of Safranal.
- The Scent: It is unique—metallic, leathery, hay-like, and iodine-rich. It smells "Dark Red."
- The "Leather" Enhancer: Saffron is rarely used alone. It is the secret ingredient in luxury "Leather" perfumes (like Tuscan Leather type). It amplifies the suede notes and adds a dry, spicy heat that synthetic leather chemicals (Isobutyl Quinoline) cannot achieve.
Neuro-Cosmetic: The Antidepressant Saffron is chemically proven to boost serotonin.
- The Vibe: Wearing a Saffron perfume creates a subconscious feeling of wealth and well-being. It is an "Opulent" antidepressant.
Usage Warnings Saffron is potent. It contains Safrole traces.
- Triefta’s Compliance: We ensure our Saffron extracts are IFRA compliant. You only need minute traces (0.01%) to color a fragrance with its signature scent. Any more, and it overpowers the blend.
Conclusion Saffron is not just a spice; it is a jewel. Including it in your ingredient list allows you to command the highest price points in the industry. Add the "Red Gold" touch with Triefta.
