Deified Tony Iommi Parfum vs No.438 Black Saffron Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper polariser; a dark, challenging leather-rose beast that'll either have you hooked or running for the hills. Not one for the faint-hearted, it demands a certain swagger but absolutely delivers on impact.
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.
