Fragrance

Saffron is the aromatic symbol of India, a spice that for more than 3,500 years has been one of the most precious in the world. Throughout different eras it was used as a seasoning and as a medicine, but most importantly saffron was always valued as an aphrodisiac: it adorned the bed of Zeus and fueled the passion of Cleopatra. Its aroma captivated fierce warriors and tempted maidens. A secret ingredient in love potions, saffron has stirred human emotions and desires for centuries across lands stretching from India to Europe. Creating the fragrance Byredo Black Saffron became for Ben Gorham the embodiment of perfect harmony — an alluring dream of uniting everything beautiful in the world.
