What do reviewers say about Black Saffron and Valentina Oud Assoluto?
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 in a women's fragrance still makes some people nervous. That's exactly why it works. This isn't a safe blind buy, it's a statement. Wear it anyway.Valentina Oud Assoluto
