Byredo Black Saffron: The Universal Fragrance of 2012
The perfume Byredo Black Saffron, released in 2012, is a universal fragrance created for those who appreciate bold combinations and depth.
It belongs to the Spicy and Oriental families, immediately setting the tone for a mysterious and sensual journey.
Composition: A Play of Contrasts
The Black Saffron fragrance is built on the contrast of bright citrus and spicy notes with delicate floral and woody chords.
In its composition, elements from the Citrus, Spicy, Floral, Leather, Fruity, Musk, and Woody groups intertwine, creating a multifaceted and memorable image.
How to Wear Black Saffron
Thanks to its medium trail, this fragrance is not intrusive but expressive enough to leave a mark.
For optimal development, pointwise application on the skin and 1 to 2 sprays on clothing are recommended.
The versatility of its unisex orientation makes it suitable for any time of day and various occasions, especially in cool weather.
Creator and Brand Philosophy
The fragrance was created by Ben Gorham, the founder of Byredo, who draws inspiration from art, memory, and emotions.
Black Saffron reflects the bold and artistic approach of the brand, combining unexpected ingredients into a harmonious composition, which is characteristic of Byredo's DNA.

Sometimes you can catch notes similar to Ford's White Suede. Cashmere adds to this feeling of softness.
What I like about Black Saffron is that the saffron smells soft and minimalistic, like a European fragrance. Scents with a ton of spices have become quite tiresome, so this is refreshing. Personally, for me, it has something of a 2000s lipstick, with a delicate raspberry-violet scent. The longevity of the fragrance is good, although the sillage isn't too strong; rather, it envelops you. One spray can fill a room, and clothes after it are better washed, otherwise they overpower other scents.
The only thing that bothers me is the decant, which seems to be from a new bottle. I've read reviews that older versions were more leathery, and that stops me from buying a large volume, as I don't know which one I'll get. This fragrance is on the edge, and if you add a bit of volume, it could resemble a Scandinavian version of Tuscan Leather. Overall, yes, it's mainstream, but it smells high-quality and expensive, in a good way. I respect the Swedes, Byredo and Agonist, for their interesting compositions and wearability 🌸
