Byredo Bullion is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012. Bullion opens with Pink Pepper and Plum, settles into a heart of Leather, Magnolia, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, and Sandalwood. Byredo's Bullion carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This discontinued Byredo gem is a divisive scent experience, oscillating between 'total masterpiece' and 'absolute scrubber'. Fans rave about its unique plum-leather fusion, while detractors can't get past what they perceive as an animalic or synthetic leather accord. Definitely not a blind buy, if you can even find it.

Given its strong opening and projection, Bullion is better suited for evening wear or special occasions where its unique character can shine without overwhelming. It's too potent and distinctive for a typical office environment, but its sensual and complex profile is perfect for dates or formal events. It's definitely not a sport scent.

About

Bullion opens with a bold hit of boozy plum and a subtle spark of pink pepper, quickly giving way to a rich, complex heart of leathery osmanthus and delicate magnolia. The base settles into a dark, musky woodiness, grounding the fruity and floral notes with an undeniable depth. It's a journey from vibrant fruit to sophisticated leather and warm woods.
