Composition notes
- Key materials. Iso E Super, Benzoin Resinoid (Siam), Safraleine, Suederal, Phenylethyl Alcohol
- What makes it distinctive. Saffron is made from safraleine rather than safranal and paired with lacquer resins instead of the expected oud-rose pairing.
- Character. Warm and present: a special-occasion signature.
- Concentration. 18–20% (eau de parfum)
Safety and compliance
- Status. Regulatory assessment pending. No formula-level safety assessment is documented yet, so this page does not say the formula is compliant for any use.
- IFRA Standards. The IFRA Standards Library covers 8 of its materials: Iso E Super (Restriction: 1-(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 Octahydro-2,3,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthalenyl) ethanone (OTNE), Amendment 49); Benzyl Salicylate (Restriction: Benzyl salicylate, Amendment 49); Linalool (Specification: Linalool, Amendment 38); Cashmeran (Restriction: 6,7-Dihydro-1,1,2,3,3-pentamethyl-4(5H)-indanone (DPMI), Amendment 49); Amber Core (Restriction: 1-(2-tert.-Butyl cyclohexyloxy)-2-butanol, Amendment 51); Birch Tar Oil (Rectified) (Birch wood pyrolysate, Amendment 47); Styrax Resinoid (Restriction: Styrax, Amendment 49); Raspberry Ketone (Restriction: 4-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)butan-2-one, Amendment 49).
- Skin sensitisation. EU-labelled fragrance allergens present as ingredients: Benzyl salicylate, Linalool. Natural materials carry further allergens as constituents, declared from the supplier’s data, and Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 extends the list to be labelled on products placed on the EU market from 31 July 2026.
- Product category. Limits depend on the product: fine fragrance, leave-on and rinse-off products have different IFRA categories, and each Standard sets its own figure for each.
