Safety Information
For external use only. Saffron and oud sit in an alcohol base here and both hold on the skin for hours, so spray from a hand’s width onto the wrists and throat and leave it there rather than topping it up through the day. Never spray towards the face, and rinse the eyes with clean water if the mist reaches them. Skin that flares easily should take a single spray on the inner arm and leave it a full day before wearing the fragrance properly; discontinue use if irritation follows. Store the bottle standing up in a cool, shaded place, away from open flame and out of reach of children.
Not recommended for:
- Spraying at the face, or onto broken, freshly shaved or sunburned skin.
- White shirt collars and pale silk — a spiced, resinous extrait can mark light fabric, so let it dry on the skin first, and keep it off pearls.
- Skin that will spend the day in strong sun rather than under clothing.
- Anyone sensitive to cinnamal, benzyl benzoate, coumarin or eugenol, all named on the current pack.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it smell like?
Valmont places it in the spicy floriental family: saffron with its woody, leathery warmth, the honeyed white bloom of bigaradier flower, and the smoky trail of precious oud.
How long does it last and how far does it travel?
Valmont calls it intensely deep and distinctive, with a generous, captivating character. It is an extrait de parfum, the most concentrated form, so one or two sprays on the wrists and neck is plenty.
Who does it suit?
Anyone drawn to spice, warmth and smoky woods rather than fresh or powdery perfumes. Valmont frames it as an east-meets-west composition, and it reads as unisex.
How does it differ from Blu Cobalto I?
Both are warm and deep, but the warmth comes from different places. Blu Cobalto I is gourmand, led by cocoa and opoponax over patchouli. Zafferano I is drier and spicier, carried by saffron, bigaradier blossom and oud.
What is the bottle like?
A 100 ml flacon topped with a Murano glass mask that is blown by hand, so the colour and the shaping of yours will not match anyone else’s exactly. It arrives boxed and is heavy enough to want a firm grip on the body, not the mask, when you spray.
