Baudelaire

Head Notes Juniper (Gin Note), Pepper, Cumin Heart Notes Frankincense, Hyacinth, Leather Base Notes Papyrus, Patchouli, Amber Byredo - Baudelaire - EdP Baudelaire by Byredo is a tribute to decadence, inspired by French poetry. Ben Gorham, founder of Byredo, has been reading works of Charles Baudelaire in the past few years - and this fragrance (which is, by the way, the "darkest" composition by Byredo until now) is described quite well through "Parfum exotique", a famous poem from Les Fleurs du Mal by Charles Baudelaire: "...lazy isle to which nature has given singular trees, savory fruits, men with bodies vigorous and slender, and women in whose eyes shines a startling candor..." Baudelaire opens on delicious top notes of Juniper Berry, Black Pepper and Caraway, leading to a mysterious heart of Incense, Hyacinth and Leather. The base notes include Papyrus, Patchouli and Black Amber.
