Byredo
1-23 of 23
Byredo is a Swedish luxury fragrance brand founded in
2006 by Ben Gorham. The name "Byredo" is derived from
the Old English word "redolence," meaning "sweet-smelling"
or "fragrance." Gorham, who has a background in fine arts, was
inspired to create Byredo after a meeting with French perfumer Pierre Wulff,
which led him to channel his creativity into the olfactory arts. Byredo's
mission is to translate memories and emotions into objects and experiences,
offering a sensorial-led approach to creativity.
The brand is known for its minimalist Scandinavian design
and unisex fragrances that evoke personal memories and stories. Byredo's
portfolio includes iconic scents such as Gypsy Water, Blanche,
and Rose of No Man's Land. In addition to fragrances, Byredo has
expanded into leather goods, accessories, and fine jewelry, maintaining its
commitment to craftsmanship and storytelling. In May 2022, Spanish luxury group
Puig acquired a majority stake in Byredo, with Gorham continuing as the brand's
creative force.
