Fragrance
Byredo Slow Dance, Sample
Slow Dance by Byredo is a fragrance for women and men. The scent was launched in 2019 and the perfumer is Jérôme Epinette. This nostalgic and evocative composition conjures images of romantic youthful dances and the first shy awakenings of romance. Exotic incense mingles with rich patchouli in an enveloping and somewhat sweet fragrance that fires the senses and the imagination. Intoxicating cognac and rich opoponax add complexity and sophistication in another superb offering from the acclaimed Swedish Byredo brand.
The fragrance opens with the warm, resinous embrace of opoponax, a note that lends a soothing, balsamic sweetness. This is beautifully complemented by the deep, boozy richness of cognac, which adds a touch of indulgence to the initial impression. As the scent evolves, the heart reveals a floral interplay of labdanum, violet, and geranium. Labdanum provides a soft, leathery backdrop, while violet adds a powdery softness and geranium contributes a touch of green, balancing the composition with its crisp brightness.
In the dry-down, the base notes of vanilla, patchouli, and incense create a lasting impression. The creamy sweetness of vanilla wraps around the earthy, woody depth of patchouli, while incense weaves a smoky, mystical aura. Together, they form a comforting, yet intriguing finish that lingers, capturing the essence of an intimate, slow dance where time seems to stand still.
