The intense notes of Saffron Blossom are hard to tame, and this makes the perfume complex. Saffron spice is a tiny vivid crimson thread, not much thicker than hair, with a spirit as wild as Daenerys Targaryen; and is as difficult to control as her dragons.
The depth comes from Frankincense. An enigmatic gum resin that traces its roots to the Bible. It lends the warmth and comfort needed to "calm" Saffron’s ardor.
"I wanted to give a sense of security that comes from a position of power. To surround the wearer with a halo of warmth and safety, like a cocoon."
Catherine Selig, Takasago
"I keep wanting to smell on my wrist throughout the day"
