About
Often associated with fire, Saffron is considered the most auspicious colour in India. The monks and sages of Hinduism wear Saffron clothes as a symbol of abstinence from all material things, thoughts, and pleasures. It has always been a part of BYREDO's founder's Indian upbringing both in smell, taste and colour. The fragrance is inspired by this idea of unity and inclusion.
