Baudelaire by Byredo is a Leather fragrance for men. Baudelaire was launched in 2009.
Top notes are Juniper Berries, Pepper and Caraway; middle notes are Leather, Incense and Hyacinth; base notes are Patchouli, Papyrus and Amber.
A gentle sweetness lies at the heart of Baudelaire, with hyacinth warmed by amber and a touch of fruit. This sentimental center gives way to the aromatics of caraway, patchouli, and juniper berries, with their green whiff of the brisk outdoors. Baudelaire’s base truly provides a counterpoint to its initial warmth, the way that his poetry often launches into philosophy: sensuality gives way to aridity, with a dry, incense-y base of leather, patchouli and papyrus.
Earthy yet worldly, warm yet sophisticated, Baudelaire is as elegant as a dandy’s walking stick.
