Byredo Eleventh Hour is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Jérôme Epinette. Eleventh Hour opens with Bergamot and Sichuan Pepper, settles into a heart of Carrot Seeds, Fig, Plum, and Rum, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Cedar, Tonka Bean, and Labdanum. Byredo's Eleventh Hour carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either love its boozy, spicy plum goodness or be utterly repulsed by what some call 'ketchup' or 'Christmas potpourri'. Definitely one to try before you buy, it's divisive and for good reason.

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.

Given its strong, boozy, and spicy character, it's a bit much for the office. However, its warming yet mysterious depth makes it ideal for dates and evening events, especially in cooler weather, where its unique profile can truly shine.

About

Opens with a sharp, invigorating kick of Sichuan pepper and bergamot, quickly moving into a rich, almost edible heart of rum-soaked plum and fig, deepened by a unique carrot seed earthiness. The dry down is a warm, woody embrace of cashmere, cedar, and frankincense, with a hint of tonka bean sweetness. It's a complex, ever-evolving scent that shifts dramatically on different skins, offering a journey from spicy fruit to smoky woods.
