The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020, Saffron Lazuli by Carolina Herrera is an Oriental Spicy fragrance that seamlessly blends the warmth of saffron and leather with a touch of metallic and powdery accents. The composition opens with saffron and black currant, which create a vibrant contrast to the heart notes of rose and iris. As it settles into a base of tonka bean, vanilla, and guaiac wood, Saffron Lazuli exudes an intriguing mix of warmth and depth, making it a standout choice for those who appreciate complexity.

How to wear it

Apply Saffron Lazuli sparingly — its rich base notes develop slowly over time. A light spritz on pulse points allows the warmth of the saffron and leather to emerge gradually throughout the day.
