What do reviewers say about Black Saffron and Mystical Metal?
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 fragrance combines fruit, spice, florals, and leather into a cohesive composition that works through the interaction of its elements rather than any single feature.Mystical Metal
