Obtained from the dried stigmas of crocus flowers, grown under the sun and light of Greece in the Kozani region, it is considered to be the most qualitative saffron in the world. Musk habanolide amplifies the brightness and aura of the saffron, while ambroxan underlines its comfortable, almost addictive character. An incense oil from Somalia accentuates its vibrancy and projection.
