Which Should You Buy?
This flanker of La Petite Robe Noire is a divisive beast: some find its leathery, medicinal edge sexy and sophisticated, while others run for the hills. Definitely not a blind buy for fans of generic crowd-pleasers.
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.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its bold leather and rose accord makes it too assertive for a professional office setting. However, its unique character and depth are well-suited for dates and formal events, though casual wear is also possible for those who prefer more edgy scents for everyday.
