Saffron James is a brand created in 2008 by former fashion magazine editor Catherine James Grooney. Its philosophy is a clean, narrative style in which every fragrance tells a story.
'Ume is one such olfactory story, released in the year the brand was founded. This eau de parfum is a women's fragrance created by the talented perfumer Sarah Horowitz.
'Ume belongs to the chypre and floral fragrance families. Its composition features unusual accords of yuzu, gardenia, water lily, ginger, and oakmoss.
This combination creates a contrast: the freshness of citrus and aquatic notes intertwines with the spice of ginger and the green depth of moss, while the floral heart adds softness.
The fragrance has a very strong sillage, making it noticeable and memorable. Yet it does not feel overwhelming; rather, it is confident and cheerful.
'Ume is ideal for spring and summer, especially for daytime wear. It is made for young, active women who enjoy sweet yet never cloying compositions.
The fragrance pairs well with casual style and brings a touch of mood to everyday looks.
If you like 'Ume, take a look at similar fragrances: Moschino Chic Petals, Armand Basi In Red Eau Fraiche, and Cacharel Noa Dream.
They also feature floral-fruity accents and are suitable for daytime wear.
'Ume is a mood-setting fragrance: bright and summery, yet grounded by a chypre base that lends it elegance.
Discover a world where every composition is a work of art.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The 'Ume fragrance pyramid is built on unexpected contrasts. Gardenia and Water Lily create a delicate aquatic-floral opening that transitions into the spicy freshness of Yuzu.
In the base, Oakmoss and Ginger create a warm, slightly earthy and spicy foundation that lends longevity and character.
