Byredo Palermo is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2010, created by Ben Gorham. Palermo opens with Citrus, Bergamot, and Petitgrain, and settles into a heart of Musk and Rose. Byredo's Palermo carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, natural citrus that leaves you wanting more. If Byredo sorted the abysmal performance, this would be an absolute banger, but for now, it's a skin scent with a vanishing act. You'll love it, then it's gone.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, intimate nature makes it perfect for casual daywear and office settings where a light scent is preferred. However, the extremely poor longevity and sillage mean it's not impactful enough for dates or formal events, where a fragrance needs to last and project.

About

Palermo bursts open with a bright, almost tart blend of fresh citruses, led by sparkling bergamot and green petitgrain that evokes the full, vibrant scent of the fruit and its leaves. This crisp, aromatic freshness then softens into a clean, subtle musk, warmed gently by a whisper of rose. The whole experience feels natural, like walking through sun-drenched Italian groves.
