If you’re familiar with the cuisine from Iran, Spain, or India, there’s a great possibility that you’ve come in contact with saffron. This delectable spice takes your favorite dish to the next level of deliciousness!

If you happen to have never experienced saffron for yourself, allow us at Harvey Prince to introduce you to the many uses of saffron and why we’ve started incorporating this exclusive spice in some of our most unique, artesian fragrances.

Cultivated from the flower Crocus Sativus, today, most of the world’s saffron grows from the western part of Europe in Spain to further southeast to India. However, saffron was originally refined in present-day Greece and Southwest Asia. In fact, the earliest records of saffron date back to the 7th century BC Assyrian empire. It also made its way to ancient China and Kashmir in India, where it gained popularity due in part to its famous rich golden-yellow hue. In fact, the Kashmiri saffron was creating into remedies that helped people battle depression!
