Universal Flowering
Saffron Flour
$165
Description
A gourmand floral that plays with edible nostalgia and exotic richness. It opens with golden saffron, which melts into the creamy sweetness of horchata and watery freshness of rose water. Ambrette and butter in the base add a musky, velvety texture, like petals dipped in warm milk.
