Autumn Crocus, by Name
In Treffpunkt 8 Uhr, J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin lists "Sage & Autumn Crocus" in the middle of the composition. Autumn crocus is the common name for Colchicum autumnale, a plant distinct from saffron, Crocus sativus, despite the shared word "crocus."
An Unconfirmed Character
The brand does not say whether the name refers to a plant extract or describes an impression built by other means, and no available source describes how autumn crocus smells on its own.
Paired with Sage
Treffpunkt 8 Uhr opens with a Mango Scent Accord and Fresh Ginger, places Sage & Autumn Crocus at the heart, and closes on Vetiver Heart. Autumn crocus therefore sits between a fruity, spicy opening and a woody, rooty base, sharing the middle with an herb.
