Byredo
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
A burst of bright Californian lemon and mandarin floods the senses with bracing clarity—citric and almost aromatic, like spraying lemon essential oil directly onto skin. Within minutes, the brightness begins softening as neroli emerges, adding floral roundness that mellows the initial sharp attack into something considerably warmer and more inviting.
A delicate interplay develops as jasmine sambac blooms with creamy, honeyed notes atop the citric foundation. The cotton candy accord becomes increasingly evident here, lending an unexpected gourmand quality that sits surprisingly well alongside the elegant florals—it's neither saccharine nor jarring, merely pleasantly sweet. The white musk provides barely-perceptible stability.
Fragrance evaporates noticeably, leaving behind faint traces of cotton candy sweetness and white musk that hover closer to skin than air. What remains is more suggestion than presence—a faint floral memory with lingering sweetness, barely detectable beyond an inch from the body. The composition feels fundamentally incomplete by this stage, as though the fragrance was always meant to be fleeting rather than persistent.
Sundazed arrives as a contradictory whisper—a fragrance that promises presence whilst delivering the olfactory equivalent of a mirage. Jérôme Epinette has constructed something deliberately ephemeral here, a scent that seems designed to dissolve rather than announce itself.
The Californian lemon and mandarin create a bright, almost sharp opening that feels more like the memory of citrus than citrus itself. There's a translucent quality to these top notes, as if viewed through overexposed film. What's remarkable is how quickly the florals bloom beneath—a honeyed neroli and creamy jasmine sambac that soften the citric edges into something almost gourmand.
