“Warm desert air at dusk, flowers you can almost name — quietly extraordinary.”
Byredo's signature desert-themed niche and one of the brand's most popular launches in its catalog — Jérôme Epinette's 2014 release for Byredo. A powdery-woody-floral unisex fragrance with magnolia and ambrette seeds at the top, a violet-sapodilla heart, and a sandalwood-cedarwood-musk base. Performs strongest in spring and summer, leans daytime, with moderate projection.

Trade-offs
