What do reviewers say about Sardonyx Fire and Black Saffron?
Saffron and rose absolute make this feel like a warm room full of flowers. The kind of scent that announces itself without trying. If you're drawn to rich florals with a dark base.Sardonyx Fire
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
