Which Should You Buy?
This one is a proper head-turner, but it's not for the faint-hearted. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it beast; some find it a sophisticated leather dream, others a 'challenging' mix of industrial fumes and sour fruit. Definitely sample before you buy.
A bolder, sexier take on the original, Black Saffron Absolu ramps up the leather for a statement-making scent. While some find it a more versatile upgrade, others miss the original's freshness. This one's for the 'CEO vibes' crowd.
