What do reviewers say about Black Saffron and Sensual Saffron?
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
This one is unapologetically bold. If you want something that announces itself, the opening will not disappoint. The leather heart is not subtle, but it is refined.Sensual Saffron
