As a child, he already assembled bottles and caps to create unique pieces—a game that became a vision: \u003cstrong\u003eto turn the perfume object into an artistic creation\u003c\/strong\u003e. The house was launched \u003cstrong\u003ein February 2025 at Esxence in Milan\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the \u003cstrong\u003eFLO'W\u003c\/strong\u003e collection and its \u003cstrong\u003eseven fragrances\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose \u003cstrong\u003ebottles are flame-shaped\u003c\/strong\u003e—\u003cstrong\u003eand which he designs himself\u003c\/strong\u003e, a rarity in perfumery. Each bottle evokes a place: \u003cem\u003eKrokos\u003c\/em\u003e is the Greek name for the crocus, the flower from which saffron is extracted, and \u003cstrong\u003eit is also a city in the Kozani region, Greece's spice capital\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA saffron opening\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaffron\u003c\/strong\u003e opens almost entirely on its own, \u003cstrong\u003ewithout a citrus preamble\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its facets are immediately recognizable: leathery, slightly metallic, slightly medicinal. \u003cstrong\u003ePink pepper\u003c\/strong\u003e accompanies it with a rosy touch that prevents the opening from being austere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA heart of leather, passion fruit, and iris\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree materials that nothing predisposed to meet.\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003cstrong\u003eleather\u003c\/strong\u003e is raw and animalic; the \u003cstrong\u003epassion fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e is tart, tropical, almost sulfurous; the \u003cstrong\u003eiris\u003c\/strong\u003e is powdery, cold, mineral. The heart lies precisely in this tension that nothing comes to resolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA base of sandalwood, patchouli, and oud\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreamy \u003cstrong\u003esandalwood\u003c\/strong\u003e, earthy \u003cstrong\u003epatchouli\u003c\/strong\u003e, and smoky \u003cstrong\u003eoud\u003c\/strong\u003e close the composition on a dark woody register, which extends the leather and anchors the saffron in time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe house's signature\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA passion fruit between a leather and an iris.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the idea that distinguishes Krokos from the long series of saffron-ouds. \u003cstrong\u003eThe expected formula would call for saffron, rose, and oud\u003c\/strong\u003e; here, an \u003cstrong\u003eacidic exotic fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003epowdery root\u003c\/strong\u003e take their place. Saffron, placed alone in the opening, \u003cstrong\u003eimmediately announces that the perfume will not seek to be likable\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor whom, for what occasions?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeathery, powdery, and woody, this extract is for those seeking \u003cstrong\u003ea crafted saffron rather than a conventional oud accord\u003c\/strong\u003e. From autumn to winter, in the evening. It will speak above all to those who already know the genre and want to hear an offbeat reading of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cstrong\u003eKrokos Florian Pontier\u003c\/strong\u003e, a tropical fruit replaces the expected rose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FLORIAN PONTIER","offers":[{"title":"100 ml","offer_id":54414986477832,"sku":"PROD-000658","price":195.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/0315\/8024\/files\/florian-pontier-krokos-100ml.png?v=1786104471","url":"https:\/\/odorare.fr\/en\/products\/florian-pontier-krokos","provider":"Odorare Parfumerie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
