How it moves
Juniper, lemon and bergamot hit first, the way an opening line should. The middle belongs to pine needles, orris and incense. The base is amber, vanilla and sandalwood. That is the bit on your scarf the next morning.
What wearers say
3.98 out of 5 from 11,100 ratings.
- Loved for its pine, incense, and sandalwood 'campfire in the woods' vibe softened by lemon and vanilla; fresh yet warm.
- Performance is the recurring letdown, with most reporting weak projection and short longevity that fades within a few hours.
- Regarded as a versatile, easygoing woody scent for any season; critics call it beautiful but overpriced for how quickly it disappears.
Who made it
Jérôme Epinette composed it in 2008, for Byredo in Sweden. Byredo founder Ben Gorham's romantic, idealised vision of Romani life — pine, incense and vanilla.
