Byredo Elevator Music is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Ben Gorham. Byredo's Elevator Music carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive and elusive, this Off-White collaboration is a skin scent that's either 'pure love' or a 'scam'. Expect faint, clean florals that vanish quickly, making its high price tag a point of contention among perfumistas.

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.

Its moderate longevity and extremely subtle projection make it perfect for close-quarters like the office, as many reviewers noted its 'elevator safe' quality. However, its faint nature means it struggles in more active or formal settings where you want to make an impact.

About

Elevator Music opens with a whisper of green notes, quickly softened by a delicate violet and jasmine heart. It's an airy, clean floral experience, underpinned by a gentle musk and the woody warmth of cedar and guaiac. The drydown settles into a subtle blend of amber and amyris, creating a serene, almost ethereal skin scent that's more about mood than projection.
