Fragrance information:

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.

A Chypre-Floral Harmony

'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.

Character and Mood

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.

Highlights and Comparisons

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.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
