Ep Black Saffron in a small glass spray vial
This is Byredo Ep Black Saffron, a perfume by Byredo, offered here as a sample. We have no note list on record for it, so we describe nothing we cannot back up. A decant gives you time with it, which a quick spray on a paper strip never does. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other.
On request
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands. Read how we fill your sample

On the skin
We have the name and the house of Ep Black Saffron, not its notes. Instead of copying a list from somewhere, we leave that part empty. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume.
The status of Ep Black Saffron is on request, so the sizes are not open yet. Tell us through the form on this page that you want it, without any obligation. Give it time to settle before you judge it. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.
A decant is perfume poured over from the original bottle into a smaller one. For Ep Black Saffron that means a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our label on it. The smallest size covers a first impression, the largest gives you many wearings.
Testing it
No season or occasion is on record for Ep Black Saffron, so let your own days decide. Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby. Test it on skin and not only on paper. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening.
We hold no data on who Ep Black Saffron is meant for, so we do not label it. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes. Whoever wears it decides whether it fits, not the label. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you.
With a decant you find out in a week what a description cannot tell you in a page. We decant from the original bottle and label the vial ourselves. Byredo does not make or endorse these samples; it is not an official brand sample.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

It is a small glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our own label on it. It sprays like a bottle, so you apply Ep Black Saffron the way you normally would.
No note list is on record with us for Byredo Ep Black Saffron, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Spray it on clean skin, do not rub, and check it after a few minutes, at midday and in the evening. Repeat that on a few different days before you decide about a bottle.
The brand
Byredo was founded in Stockholm in 2006 by Ben Gorham and turns memories and emotions into scent: a dance in Africa, a desert flower, a library, a nomadic life. The Eau de Parfums are built on a small library of raw materials, ambrette, sandalwood, violet, vetiver, and most of them stay transparent and close to the skin. That restraint is exactly why a sample helps: on paper they can seem simple, on skin they settle into something personal.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
