    Real talk

    Most tea fragrances smell like a porcelain cup. This one smells like the tea store, wood shelves, paper wrappers, the real thing. Fruity and floral without being precious.Cutting Rain
    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
