Saffron Essential Oil

Saffron Essential Oil is a rare aromatic material derived from Crocus sativus stigmas. It exhibits a characteristic warm and slightly leathery profile. Due to its strength and distinctiveness, it is generally used in small quantities to introduce signature character into formulations.

Pure Saffron Essential Oil, often obtained through steam distillation from the petals or other parts of the saffron plant, is a very concentrated, precious, and rare liquid that should not be confused with "saffron absolute" (solvent extraction).
