Which Should 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.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Byredo Black Saffron - a powdery fragrance led by Black Violet, Leather, with leather depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.
