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.
Small Flower recreates Byredo's Lil Fleur - that cool, spicy rose-and-leather chypre with a saffron-and-blackcurrant lift. The dupe captures the rose-leather signature well, though it loses a little of the original's polished, smoky refinement and the leather reads slightly more synthetic. A chic, affordable rose-leather for cooler days.
