  From the start it smells of raspberry, and on the dry down the berries add a bitter touch with saffron; I detect no grapefruit. The leather appears later, but it’s not leather, rather a very soft suede. The raspberry never goes away and in the end there’s a woody base mixed with it, which sounds too feminine. It’s like Tuscan Leather or Oud Saphir, but without the oud of the latter; what reminds me most is Josier’s Cuero de la Toscana. Performance is moderate in projection but long-lasting. Due to the star note, the raspberry, I see it as more feminine than masculine. Suitable for any season, though I think it’s better for cold weather. I haven’t liked it much; I believe there are better fragrances of this style. I find it dull, with little evolution, and although it’s not bad, it didn’t seem good to me.

Seriously, it hasn’t convinced me; I find it dull, without evolution, and although it’s not bad, it’s not good. There are better options of this style.

  Upon trying it, I thought of La Yuqawam Pour Homme due to the leather-raspberry combo. However, Black Saffron looks more feminine thanks to the violet, grapefruit, and raspberry, which is the most persistent note. It gives me the sensation of a Victoria’s Secret splash to which they’ve added suede to give it body and eccentricity, mixing tanned notes with youthful, cheerful fruits. To be frank, the experiment doesn’t fascinate me and didn’t have the impact that Rasasi did. It’s a very linear Byredo that fades slowly without surprises, smelling almost the same at the beginning as at the end: a splash for young women ‘enriched’ with suede. Average quality, it seems like an olfactory accident, as if someone spilled two substances and created a chaotic mix. Not all niche is prodigious. Rating: Meh!

  What a disappointment! On my skin it was linear, smelling of wet cardboard with a tiny hint of raspberry. It resembles the Bibliothèque by the same brand, but instead of plum it carries raspberry. I see it as unisex for spring or mild autumns. It doesn’t smell bad, but I don’t like it and it doesn’t seem interesting. It projects nothing with five sprays and lasted only three hours before disappearing without a trace. Next! Pleasant: 4/10 Interesting: 6/10 Versatile: 7/10 Original: 7/10

It resembles the Bibliothèque by the same brand, but instead of plum it carries raspberry. I see it as unisex for spring or mild autumns. It doesn’t smell bad, but I don’t like it or find it interesting. It projects nothing with five sprays and, to make matters worse, lasted only three hours on skin before disappearing without a trace.

  I don’t detect any raspberry at all, just saffron and leather, so it smells like cardboard. Honestly, everything smells like cardboard to me, haha. It’s masculine. Update 2025: I lent it to my boyfriend and on him it smells brutal, absolutely delicious; now I can finally smell the raspberry. A mix of raspberry and leather, very masculine and sweet, quite fresh. Nothing heavy but definitely noticeable.

  It’s a leather perfume with flashes of fruity sweetness, very original. The intensity of the leather complements those little sparks you feel when biting a berry. Suddenly there’s a fresh sweetness that oxygenates and brings joy briefly. Over time, those two distinct worlds mix and a warm, cheerful, and elegant aroma emerges. It’s an original blend that creates its own thread, as Chanel’s egoïste did, where notes that seem very different at first generated a new scent. The dark mix of leather and the luminous red fruit bring originality and versatility. Absolute unisex.
