What do reviewers say about Aoud Leather and Black Saffron?
This isn't the leather that sits in a heritage boutique. It's assertive in ways that polarize: the opening can read synthetic to some noses, and it projects hard enough that strangers will notice.Aoud Leather
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
