Black Saffron
Black Saffron by Byredo is an unisex eau de parfum from 2012 in the luxury price tier. It opens with saffron and black cherry, moves into leather and damask rose and dries down to cypriol, vetiver and raspberry. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Black Cherry Darker, boozier cherry. Reads more grown-up.
Heart
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Damask Rose The rich, jammy, honeyed rose. Deep and slightly wine-like.
Dry-down
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
