    What do reviewers say about Black Saffron Absolu and African Rooibos Intens?

    The leather is the dealbreaker. If you've been burned by other leather fragrances, this one earns another look. The Absolu concentration amplifies everything from the original Black Saffron.Black Saffron Absolu
    The rooibos here isn't a quiet, green-tea whisper. It's dry, leathery, almost austere before the vanilla warms it. If you've wanted a tea fragrance with actual weight.African Rooibos Intens
