How to wear+
Evening, warm weather. One to two sprays — tuberose projects, so this one doesn't need much.
The drydown
- Top
Marigold · Orange Blossom
Warm and slightly bitter — marigold again, but pushed sweeter and sunnier than Bal d'Afrique's version.
- Heart
Tuberose
Creamy and a little narcotic — the note that turns this from a citrus fragrance into something closer to a flame.
- Base
Amber · Musk
Warm and soft, holding the marigold's brightness down into something that lasts on skin.
A flower built to be remembered by
Named for Día de los Muertos, built around the marigolds laid out for the dead rather than the ones sold for anniversaries. Byredo's fragrances are rarely literal, but this one commits to its reference point harder than most.
It's warmer and sweeter than Bal d'Afrique's version of the same flower — proof that one note, handled twice, doesn't have to repeat itself.
Marigold as an offering rather than a garnish.
Verdict: The warmest thing in Byredo's lineup that still doesn't read as sweet.
