Application Tips
Golden Saffron has a strong presence from its saffron note but also features fleeting top notes like bergamot. Apply it liberally to ensure that the full complexity is evident throughout the day. This fragrance blooms best close to the skin, so layering with a light mist over your usual skincare routine can enhance its warmth and depth.
