Safranal is an incredibly high impact material that is felt in traces in a scent (as you can see by our Attar of Three Roses demonstration formula below.
The IFRA restriction on this material is rather tragically strict (0.012% in your finished product) but because of its high impact it is still our first choice for a saffron note. If you need to boost it you can use Safraleine which has no restriction in use and is, in its own way, a beautiful product.
Safranal smells every bit like saffron (crocus stamens). It is medicinal, herbal, phenolic and leathery.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
