Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, intriguing, and undeniably edgy, Black Saffron is a love-it-or-hate-it leather. It's often compared to Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather, but Byredo's take is brighter, fruitier, and, some say, a more wearable 'cool girl' scent. Just make sure it works with your skin chemistry first.
A fair approximation of Byredo Black Saffron's spicy-leather signature - the saffron opening and suede-like leather heart land close to the original, though the fruity-woody base is simpler and the minimalist Byredo polish doesn't fully translate.
