What do reviewers say about Safran Rare and Black Saffron?
Saffron in perfume either shines or gets buried. Here it leads, undeniable, for the full wear. If you want the note to announce itself from opening to drydown, Safran Rare is built for that.Safran Rare
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
