Byredo 2012 EDT
Bullion
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 Notes, Musk, and Sandalwood. Byredo's Bullion carries a Statement 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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Best Occasions
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.
