Byredo Perfume Collection: Source: https://www.byredo.com/ Mojave Ghost - Delicate magnolia and powdery violet notes layered atop the hazy warmth of ambrette and cedarwood. Against a seductive landscape of musk, a fresh appearance of Jamaican Nesberry. A graceful, lingering spirit of slowly unfurling contrasts. Capturing the soulful beauty of the Mojave Desert, this scent draws on the rare ghost flowers that emerge amidst the arid wilderness. Fragile, translucent petals blooming atop sunbaked terrain: a miraculous moment of life in Death Valley. Blanche - A longstanding icon in the Byredo catalogue, Blanche explores the smell of texture and skin; bodies slipping beneath fresh sheets; laundry baskets filled to the brim; a punch of detergent. An aldehyde hit softens into delicate rose; through sandalwood and musk, the allure and intimacy of human touch. Bal d'Afrique - “Bal d’Afrique is one of my earliest fragrances. At the time of its formulation, I was obsessed with the translation of memories into scent. At the same time, I felt confident enough to include an imaginary component. My father lived and travelled in Africa for about 10-15 years. I would read his diaries; the way he travelled on freight ships, met all kinds of different people… For me, this was the fantasy of arriving in Africa through somebody else’s words. Bal d’Afrique reflects that; it’s an imaginary journey as well as a complete celebration of how I see African culture and its influence.” With a focus on beauty and fantasy, Bal d'Afrique is Ben Gorham’s ‘love letter’ to Africa. Wanting to sum up and celebrate the reach and influence of Africa through time, particularly the way its myriad cultures have shaped dance, art and music, the idea of an imaginary event. La Tulipe - When tulips start blooming, it is the sign that Spring has sprung. With the dull days of winter at an end, gardens come to life with bold colors and clean-cut shapes. Tulips may not be the first flowers you would think of as being fragrant, but a number are definitely sweet-smelling. Gypsy Water - Gypsy Water is an ode to the beauty of Romani culture, its unique customs, intimate beliefs and distinguished way of living. The scent wakens a dream of a colorful lifestyle made of innate nomadism. Woody notes of pine needle and sandalwood associated to intense amber and fresh citrus evoke the fever of gypsy nights spent in the forest. Camera: Panasonic GH5 and G9
