Byredo Chembur is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. Byredo's Chembur carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive and discontinued for a reason, Chembur is a baffling mix of citrus and incense that some find brilliantly unique and others, utterly unwearable. Expect either a light, meditative spice or something akin to stale ginger ale and spit.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

About

Opens with a brisk, zesty pop of bergamot and lemon, quickly followed by a warm, aromatic wave of ginger and nutmeg. This leads into a resinous heart, where elemi and labdanum twine with a light, non-cloying incense, underpinned by soft amber and musk.
