Real talk
Maison Alhambra builds affordable fragrances that punch well above their price point, and By Saffron is Exhibit A. The saffron isn't subtle, it's confrontational for the first twenty minutes.By Saffron
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
