    Real talk

    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
    The saffron here doesn't whisper. It arrives bold and leans medicinal before warming into leather and suede. That's the draw, this isn't a quiet composition.Byzantium Saffron
