Black Saffron is generally well-regarded by the community as a strong, wearable leather fragrance with good longevity and a pleasant balance of fruity and floral notes. However, there is notable variation in how individuals experience the fragrance, with some finding it surprisingly weak or soapy, potentially due to skin chemistry or olfactory differences. Most enthusiasts praise its minimalist elegance and all-day performance.
