Byredo Green, launched in 2016 to celebrate the brand's tenth anniversary, is a fragrance that encapsulates the very essence of a sun-drenched garden. It is a departure from the darker, more introspective scents in the Byredo lineup, offering instead a luminous and unapologetically verdant experience. The name itself is a direct declaration: this is a scent about green, in all its facetsβ€”from the sharpness of freshly cut leaves to the creamy sweetness of fig.

Created by in-house perfumer Jerome Epinette, Green is a study in contrast: it balances the zesty brightness of citrus with the earthy depth of wood, all while maintaining a transparent, airy quality that feels effortlessly modern. It is not a photorealistic garden but rather an impressionistic one, where each note is a brushstroke contributing to a larger, harmonious picture. This fragrance appeals to those who seek a natural, unisex scent that is both refreshing and sophisticated.

In a market saturated with green fragrances, Byredo Green stands out for its restraint and clarity. It does not overwhelm with complexity but instead invites the wearer to appreciate the subtle interplay of its components. It is a fragrance that whispers rather than shouts, making it a versatile choice for daily wear, especially in the warmer months.

The Nose Behind the Scent

Jerome Epinette (in collaboration with Ben Gorham, Byredo's creative director). Epinette is renowned for his elegant, often minimalist compositions, having crafted many of Byredo's signature scents including Bal d'Afrique and Gypsy Water, and worked with numerous other luxury fragrance houses.
