Byredo Rodeo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Ben Gorham. Rodeo opens with Leather, settles into a heart of Suede and Violet, and dries down to a base of Amber and Vetiver. Byredo's Rodeo carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Rodeo is a smooth, suede-soft leather that stays close to the skin and avoids the smoky, heavy clichés of the style. It is the kind of unisex scent that suits anyone who wants leather without the fuss. Quietly confident rather than loud.

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

Rodeo, an eau de parfum by Ben Gorham, starts with leather, the clear lead of the whole composition. The heart adds suede and violet, which soften the leather and give it a faintly powdery, floral edge. It dries down onto vetiver and amber, bringing an earthy, warm finish. The result is a refined unisex leather scent that feels smooth and tactile, moving from dry and supple at the start to a warm, grounded base.
