Black saffron eau de parfum

The fragrance Black Saffron is an Ambery composition that opens with a bright citrus note obtained from Asian pomelo and fresh juniper berries, softened by a golden note of Kashmiri saffron. At the heart lies black violet, blended with a leather note. Their dark, dry composition is lifted a level higher by the delicate transparency of Cristal rose. In the base, blonde woods bring warmth and harmony, punctuated by brief flashes of delectable raspberries. The journey ends with a soft, earthy reminder of Haitian vetiver. "Saffron has always played a role in my partly Indian upbringing, both as a fragrance, flavour and colour. Sacred to Hindus, it is the colour of the robes of Buddhist monks and has now become a symbol of India. Byredo's 'Black Saffron' is inspired by this idea of ultimate unity. I become more aware of my background every year and this fragrance describes this process." (Ben Gorham, Founder and Creative Director BYREDO)
