Byredo’s latest olfactory marvel, Blanche L’Absolu de Parfum, deepens the intimacy of its beloved Blanche fragrance with a richer, more textured presence. Founder Ben Gorham describes it as a scent that captures the tactile essence of fabric, skin, and lived-in moments, an abstraction of warmth and familiarity. This iteration intensifies the original’s crispness while weaving in a newfound sensuality, making it less of a fleeting whisper and more of a lingering impression.
The fragrance opens with a sharp clarity, blending aldehyde, black pepper, and neroli for an almost effervescent first impression. At its heart, a bouquet of rose absolute, violet, and jasmine blooms with soft elegance, adding depth without overpowering. The dry down settles into a lush mix of cashmeran, musk, ambroxan, and cashmere woods, ensuring a warm, skin-like finish that wears like a memory rather than a statement.
Housed in Byredo’s signature glass bottle and topped with a textured wooden cap, Blanche L’Absolu is a study in understated luxury. With this release, Byredo continues to refine the art of fragrance storytelling—one scent at a time.
This product is priced at $280 for 50ml and $385 for 100ml and is available now at Byredo.
