Byredo La Botte is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2016. La Botte opens with Jasmine, settles into a heart of Violet and Civet, and dries down to a base of Leather and Mahogany. Byredo's La Botte carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

La Botte pairs jasmine and violet with leather, civet and mahogany. It is an odd, slightly animalic mix that will divide people. Worth smelling first.

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

La Botte is a short-note scent, with five listed notes. Jasmine sits on top, followed by violet and civet in the heart. Leather and mahogany make up the base. The mix of floral and animalic notes gives it an unusual, slightly raw character, while the leather and wood add dry depth. It leans dark and a bit strange rather than pretty, so test it on skin before buying.
