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
Oud and blackberry is either your next obsession or a combination you've never considered. The tart sweetness of the fruit meets the deep warmth of the wood.Paint It Black
