Founded in Stockholm in 2006 by Ben Gorham, Byredo has redefined the world of luxury fragrance through a unique lens of cultural heritage and modern minimalism. Unlike traditional perfume houses, Byredo focuses on the emotive power of scent, translating memories and abstract concepts into olfactory art. Tobacco Mandarin is a crown jewel in the "Night Veils" collection—a series of extraits de parfum designed for the ritual of the night. This fragrance is an evocative narrative of contrast, where the brightness of the citrus sun sets into a dark, smoky, and resinous horizon, embodying the brand's signature ability to blend the unexpected into something purely elegant.
Tobacco Mandarin
Byredo Tobacco Mandarin is a profound and highly concentrated Amber Woody unisex Extrait de Parfum launched in 2020. It represents a voyage to another place—an ancient city where spices, smoke, and history collide. The scent opens with a luminous burst of mandarin and coriander, but quickly settles into a rich, honeyed core of tobacco and leather. It is a viscous, "dark" fragrance that feels incredibly tactile and luxurious on the skin, designed for those who seek a scent that tells a story of mystery and sophistication.
