This intense and smoky fragrance is a premier choice for fall and winter, as its concentrated Extrait de Parfum strength and spicy warmth are built for the coldest temperatures. Marketed as a unisex scent within Byredo's Night Veils collection, it is a sophisticated and dark composition that feels deeply mysterious. It is an ideal selection for formal evening events, winter celebrations, or for those who want a powerful, "beast mode" fragrance that exudes luxury and maturity.
The scent opens with a brilliant, contrasting burst of mandarin orange and coriander, creating a sparkling, spicy citrus introduction that quickly deepens. It then transitions into a rich, aromatic heart of leather and tobacco leaves, which provides a rugged, sophisticated texture. The fragrance eventually settles into a majestic and resinous base of oud, olibanum (frankincense), and sandalwood, leaving a smoky, woody trail that is both balsamic and incredibly long-lasting.
