What do reviewers say about Golden Boy and Byzantium Saffron?
Leather this assertive isn't common at this price. The quinoline punch hits fast, the drydown takes its time, and by hour six you're left with something warm and worn-in.Golden Boy
Byzantium Saffron doesn't apologize for being bold. The saffron opening is metallic and unapologetic, it arrives before asking permission. But beneath that assertion sits something unexpectedly.Byzantium Saffron
