What do reviewers say about Paramour and Black Saffron?
The leather-raspberry contrast is real but not as jarring as it sounds. The fruit fades quickly, leaving a spicy-floral heart that eventually gives way to a warm, ambery leather base.Paramour
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
