    Real talk

    It's a chemistry experiment that got sentimental. The camphor opens clinical, almost cold, then the ambergris arrives like an afterthought that becomes the whole point.NVRMIND
    This is saffron done with real intent. The opening is deliberately abrasive, almost challenging, which is Byredo's way. The leather heart saves it, and the vetiver drydown is where it actually.Black Saffron
