Saffron: A key element, saffron imparts a distinct, spicy, leathery, and subtly sweet aroma with warm and even slightly honeyed undertones. Spices: Other warm spices like cinnamon and cardamom can enhance the overall warmth and depth of the fragrance. Citrus: Notes like lemon or bergamot can be added to provide a subtle, fresh, and uplifting element to the opening, without overshadowing the main notes.
