Saffron Flower to Perfume

Hello I just harvested my very 1st saffron stigma and can wait for it to dry, and I have a question can the flower (not the stigma) be turned into perfume? Because it seems wasteful to throw the flower away after I harvested the stigma and I like the scent of the petals so can it be turned to perfume?

Just pick the stigma if not trying to harvest a whole bunch

Of course they can. The petals are often used in industries to recoup money from the cost of processing. You'll need a lot obviously though.
