Saffron blossom, originating from the Crocus sativus plant, primarily blooms in the autumn, exhibiting a stunning display of lilac or purple flowers. Central to each blossom are three distinctive crimson stigmas, which are the sources of saffron spice itself.
The scent profile of saffron blossom is a subtle, complex fusion of floral and earthy notes. It carries a gentle floral aroma that’s both fresh and slightly sweet, akin to the scent of mixed spring flowers with a hint of honey. Underlying these lighter tones are richer, more grounding earthy elements that might remind one of freshly turned soil or wet foliage. This unique blend of aromas is enchanting, making the saffron blossom not just visually striking but also olfactively appealing. The scent is luxurious and often considered soothing, often used in aromatherapy to promote a sense of relaxation and well-being.
