Black Saffron Absolu by Byredo is a Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Black Saffron Absolu was launched in 2025. Top notes are Saffron, Pomelo and Juniper Berries; middle notes are Leather, Black Violet and Rose; base notes are Blonde Woods, Raspberry and Vetiver. Black Saffron Absolu by Byredo is described as a more concentrated interpretation of the original Black Saffron composition. The fragrance opens with juniper berries and bright pomelo, coloured by a pronounced saffron note that gives the top an aromatic, spicy character. The heart combines black violet and Cristal Rose with a leather accord, introducing a floral-leathery facet that leads into a warm, woody base. Blonde woods, vetiver and a touch of raspberry round out the drydown, creating a unisex scent that moves from citrus and spice to floral leather and soft woods in an intensified absolu de parfum concentration.
