London on 19 December, Big Ben strikes 9 am.
The hustle and bustle and honking have subsided. A rainy mist settles over the grey cobblestones in the streets of Soho, and I soak up the damp and surprisingly quiet atmosphere. The hustle and bustle of the day has given way to crowded restaurants where the scents of spices mingle with those of fashionable tailor shops.
The power of saffron and the straightforwardness of cedar wood combine with rose and its timeless elegance. I let myself be carried away by this amazing blend and write down in my mind this accord of three raw materials, behind which a silhouette takes shape: Saffron Wood / 91 will be a leather, refined and metallic, London in its most enigmatic colours.
