The review
Noir Spice scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Black Saffron.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Black Saffron's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $122 per 100ml it costs 63% less than Black Saffron — the 4th cheapest of 6 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Byredo Black Saffron is saffron, juniper berries and cardamom at first, black violet, raspberry and leather at its heart and vetiver, sueded leather and hinoki wood at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- saffron
- juniper berries
- cardamom
Heart
- black violet
- raspberry
- leather
Base
- vetiver
- sueded leather
- hinoki wood
Dusty saffron and raspberry-stained violet draped over soft suede, exotic and quietly aristocratic.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
