Saffron Rose is a 2012 release from London perfume house Grossmith - a house originally founded in the 19th century by John Grossmith before being resurrected. Years of research led to finding the original formula books, from which Grossmith's original 19th century fragrances were brought back. Today, Grossmith is run by Simon, Amanda, Eleanor, and Kate Brooke - 5th and 6th generation descendants of John Grossmith - that have " restored Grossmith to its rightful place as a prominent classic English perfume house that once again is producing the finest perfume in the world."
Saffron Rose, a modern Spicy Amber, is one of the Black Label fragrances, which, as "completely modern fragrances share the complexity, quality and understatement of the Classic and Royal Collections and enrich the contemporary Grossmith fragrance palette". This fragrance, composed by Trevor Nicholl, has an aroma profile of warm spicy, leather, woody, amber, rose, oud, tobacco, smoky, musky, and metallic.
From Grossmith:
"A complex Woody Amber fragrance combining saffron and rose to create a wonderfully rich and opulent scent.
This striking composition entices with spicy notes of saffron and cinnamon, supported by a beautiful rose. The heart is comprised of myrrh, oud wood and tobacco, which lend a stunning smoky quality to the fragrance, developing into a luxurious base of creamy woods, labdanum and dark animalic accords."
