What do reviewers say about Black Saffron and HIGH?
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
HIGH is built around what most fragrances avoid. The cannabis, the castoreum, the birch tar smoke. It's an intentional provocation that pays off if you let it.HIGH
