A warm, intense fragrance inspired by the brand founder’s Indian upbringing. 

The colour of sunset and fire, saffron is considered the most auspicious shade in India, as seen in how the monks and sages of Hinduism wear saffron clothing as a symbol of their abstinence from material things. Byredo’s founder, Ben Gorham, has translated the smell, taste and colour of his Indian upbringing to create the Black Saffron eau de parfum. Expect notes of crisp juniper berries that mellow into Kashmiri saffron, followed by leather accords and the warmth and harmony of blond woods.
  • Top notes: Juniper Berries, Pomelo, Saffron
  • Heart notes: Black Violet, Cristal Rose, Accord Cuir
  • Base notes: Blonde Woods, Raspberry, Vetiver

lovely

I think I just straight up might not know what leather smells like. I thought I did, but to me I don't get this heavy leather bomb that everyone else describes this as. To me, this fragrance is black currant, saffron, and prosecco. And it is intoxicating. Dark, drippy, lovely. One of the best things I've smelled in ages.

Nice

Is it insane for me to love Black Saffron, and Diptyque’s Philosykos, and to want to wear them together?

Both have this incredible, green quality that balances out any sweetness, but Philosykos has such a broken-twig greenness and creaminess from the fig. It works so well with the violet and saffron that I have taken to wearing one on one arm, the and one on the other. Please someone respond and tell me this makes sense.

Black Saffron is juicy - at first it seems too much so. 30 seconds in, the raspberry is tempered by the herbal bite of the juniper, and the bitter, expansive vetiver. I mean all of this in the best way possible. I typically love things like Glossier’s You and Dedcool’s Milk and Blonde, and I sampled Black Saffron in a department store and bought it on the spot.

I love this

I love this. Love it. On my skin, I get light florals and fruit in the opening but almost immediately it's joined by leather and then tobacco smoke. In about 20-30 minutes it dries to a sexy, sweet, smoky scent on me. I would say it leans more masculine than I usually wear but absolutely unisex. So good.

Black Saffron was the first leather themed fragrance I ever enjoyed.

It is so peculiar.

This smells like a goth guy, I was dying when I first tried it!

It's like a leather jacket and cold, night-time air. This literally smells like the sweet smoke from a clove when it gets absorbed into someone's hair. It's like smoke break at the goth club and you're all huddling together in front of the door with freezing fingers, and someone has boozy cherry schnapps still on their breath.

It feels like it's time to go reapply my black lipstick.

When you finally get home at four in the morning, your clothes smell like last night's shenanigans. Glorious.

my favourite fragrance !!

BLACK SAFFRON, a fresh,sweet , fruity leather !

One of the best fragrances I have tried in some time. This is incredible !!! A very gorgeous take on Leather infused with raspberries , a friendlier take on the famous Tuscan Leather TF ,
starts out with a fresh smell of junipers like gin ,,,and grapefruit as well as a slight violets note , almost like a sweet cosmetic note , the raspberry and saffron make it borderline edible. All on a bed of soft high quality leather. This fragrance is the best of Byredo , it's exquisite !
It never turns stale or cloying. It's airy and sweet and stunning. A compliment getter !!!

White suede was my favourite leather fragrance for years , this is taking its place with its zesty fresh , sweet feel !

Needles to say all Byredo fragrances are packaged in a beautiful minimalistic way, bottles are stunning with a magnetic cap!
I also love the fact that Byredos don't necessairly smell like cologne or perfume but realisticly of things , food, spices, plants , fruit or places or an emotion.
They capture a Feeling and can be worn at any age to any place !

Update: wearing this almost daily , it has become one of my absolute favourites , it's such a fresh ,sweet ,airy take on leather, completely taken by this fragrance ! A master piece and second bottle worthy !

Update ;
This is now my favourite fragrance !!!!
