What do reviewers say about Barénia and Safran Secret?
Barénia is not trying to impress anyone. It starts bright and gets quietly confident, ending in a dry woody place that feels very much Hermès. If you want loud, look elsewhere.Barénia
Saffron and leather don't always walk the same direction. Safran Secret pulls them together with a metallic thread that keeps things interesting. A full workday interesting, if you're patient enough.Safran Secret
