Byredo Byredo is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Jérôme Epinette. Byredo opens with Gin and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Orris and Violet, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss and Fir Resin. Byredo's Byredo carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive ol' thing. Some find it a clean, cold, poetic iris-violet dream. Others reckon it's a generic, overhyped mess, barely there and wildly overpriced. You'll either adore its subtle gin and violet transparency or wonder what all the fuss is about.

Summer Fall

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its generally light projection and clean, fresh accords make it perfect for the office or casual day wear. While some find it elegant enough for formal settings, its intimate performance means it might be lost in noisier environments. It's too subtle for a strong date night impression but great for low-key encounters.

About

Opens with a cool, sharp kick of gin and a zesty lift from pink pepper, cutting through the air. The heart softens into a powdery embrace of orris and violet, giving it a floral elegance. It settles on a woody, earthy base of oakmoss and fir resin, reminiscent of a crisp, quiet forest floor.
