Extrait de Parfum
Format: 50ml
Year: 2023
“I think there's something special about the night, it's a different world of possibilities; another version of you, a nocturnal sense of duality.”
– Ben Gorham, creative director and founder of Byredo.
Rouge Chaotique, the first gourmand oud fragrance from the Night Veils collection, is inspired by Ben Gorham's belief that the acceptance of chaos within any creative process can generate unique forms of expression.
At the top, a prelude of precious saffron leaves room for the fresh juiciness of blackcurrant and bergamot, with a digression of spicy leather. Soft and velvety gourmand notes form the heart, while the syrupy hints of plum and the toasted sweetness of praline transform into an irresistible forbidden pleasure. Obtained from one of the most sought after raw materials in the world, the animalistic sensuality of oud leads to the spectacular finish, mixed with patchouli and balanced by the crunch of papyrus leaves.
Distilled into pure essence, a small amount of Rouge Chaotique works closer to the skin and diffuses through body heat, persisting for many hours.
