Eleventh Hour

by Jérôme Epinette

Byredo Eleventh Hour is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Jérôme Epinette. The fragrance opens with Sichuan Pepper and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Plum, Rum, Fig, and Carrot Seeds, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Cashmere Wood, Cedar, and Iso E Super.

Our verdict on Eleventh Hour: Statement

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.

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.
