## Saffron, leather, light

Byredo **Black Saffron** begins with saffron, juniper berries and pomelo. Its heart brings black violet, Cristal rose and a leather accord together; blonde woods, raspberry and vetiver form the base. The house describes an amber fragrance, with a contrast between bright fruit, floral details and leather.

The inspiration reaches into Byredo founder Ben Gorham's Indian upbringing, where saffron carries significance as a colour, scent and taste. The composition is associated with perfumer Jérôme Epinette, as credited by Luckyscent.

## Before you choose

The eau de parfum has its own character within Byredo's collection. If you are drawn to leather softened by fruit and flowers, explore its notes alongside the other perfumes below. Shared notes can be a useful starting point, although they do not guarantee that two fragrances smell alike.

Our guide follows published information rather than a personal wear test. Fragrance performance varies with skin and conditions, so try it for yourself if you can.
