1996
This Byredo scent is special! Not just because it is a limited edition Eau de Parfum, but because the inspiration behind the creation of the scent is just as unique as the scent itself.
The scent 1996 was inspired by Kirsten 1996, a beauty shot of a young girl taken by iconic photographers Inez van lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin in that year. This not the first time Ben Gorham, founder of Byredo, has collaborated with artists, or based a perfume off an image. However, this is Ben’s first collaboration with Inez & Vinoodh. To them, "This picture represents the duality that underlies our work and our life together and the scent is very much Ben's impeccable and sensitive interpretation of that."
The scent is a warm blend of black pepper, leather and patchouli. Even with the warmth spiciness of this scent, there are floral moments that shine though to make this a complex unique sent that I can’t get enough of.
Each box of Byredo’s 1996 perfume is decorated with a 'Kirsten 1996' photograph.
