More about Byredo Black Saffron Absolu
Inspired by the sacred and transformative symbolism of saffron, Black Saffron Absolu de Parfum honors the precious spice's enduring legacy. The Absolu de Parfum amplifies the original's mystical warmth, revealing more opulent spicy and leathery facets. Vibrant nutmeg and juicy blackcurrant introduce a bright, dynamic opening, which softens into a lush floral heart of rose absolute and osmanthus. At the base, bold notes of black leather, incense, patchouli, and agarwood bring depth, offering a richer, more addictive expression of Black Saffron's signature.
