Description
Byredo Tobacco Mandarin is a striking extrait de parfum from the brand’s Night Veils collection, radiating a luxurious fusion of sparkling mandarin, pungent spices, and sumptuous tobacco layered with deep resins and creamy woods. The perfume opens with an addictive pop of mandarin and coriander, swiftly enveloped by a warm blend of tobacco, leather, and balsamic labdanum. Rich frankincense and oud in the base bring an opulent, smoky warmth, while sandalwood delivers a plush, extended drydown. This intricate creation reimagines the tobacco genre with an elegant, genderless signature touched by citrus vibrancy and mysterious depth.
