With its intense orange color and distinctive smell, saffron has been used as a condiment, dye, medicine and perfume. It was introdu ced in Kashmir by the Persians in the 11th-12th centuries. Its use and cultivation quickly spread throughout the count ry. " Saffron has always been part of my Indian upbringing, because of its smell, taste and color. It is sacred to all Hindus, its color adorns Buddhist robes. It has become a real symbol for India. Black Saffron is inspired by this very idea of su blime unity. I have come to know my cultural heritage more and this fragrance is a testament to that."
