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.
This one's a proper grown-up leather, sophisticated and a bit moody. It's not for the faint of heart - expect a confident swagger, not a shy whisper. A genuine stunner if you fancy turning heads.
