saffron

Warm, leathery, slightly metallic, closer to wet hay than to a spice rack. The signature note of a generation of niche fragrances (Baccarat Rouge 540, anything labeled "oud + saffron"). Reads expensive because it actually is: saffron is the most costly spice in the world.

Also known as: saffron threads
