A journey through our most iconic scents. La Découverte Nomade is an invitation to experiment with a selection of Byredo classics in search of your new signature fragrance.

Each set comes replete with six 2ml vials including Bal d’Afrique, Bibliothèque, Blanche, Gypsy Water, Mojave Ghost, and Rose of No Man’s Land – a curated lineup of our favourites.

Bal d'Afrique is Ben Gorham's 'love letter' to Africa. To encapsulate and celebrate Africa's influence through time, particularly how its myriad cultures have shaped dance, art, and music, imagine and create a fragrance dedicated to this celebration.

One spray is enough to bathe the neck in the atmosphere of a world suspended in time. A world of old books, the scent of their leather-bound pages arranged on dark wood shelves.
Bibliothèque is our most popular candle. In response to endless requests, Bibliothèque is appearing as an Eau de Parfum.

Blanche explores the smell of texture and skin; bodies slipping beneath fresh sheets; laundry baskets filled to the brim; a punch of soap. An aldehyde hit softens into delicate rose; through sandalwood and musk, the allure and intimacy of human touch.

Gypsy Water is an ode to the beauty of Romani culture, its unique customs, intimate beliefs and distinguished way of living. The scent wakens a dream of a colorful lifestyle made of innate nomadism. Woody notes of pine needle and sandalwood associated to intense amber and fresh citrus evoke the fever of gypsy nights spent in the forest.

Mojave Ghost is a woody composition inspired by the soulful beauty of the Mojave Desert. With a light and graceful character top notes of musky Ambrette combine with fresh Jamaican Nesberry. Powdery Violet then unfurls to reveal and Sandalwood.
Finally warm Chantilly Musk rounds out a base of crisp Amber and Cedar wood, leaving the raw spirit of Mojave Ghost to linger on the skin.

Rose of No Man's Land is the nickname given by soldiers to the nurses who saved thousands of lives during WWI. The scent is a tribute to selflessness and compassion.

When tulips start blooming, it is the sign that Spring has sprung. With the dull days of winter at an end, gardens come to life with bold colors and clean-cut shapes. Tulips may not be the first flowers you would think of as being fragrant, but a number are definitely sweet-smelling.

Reframing tradition through the perspectives of a new generation, Young Rose presents an ode to the perennial restlessness of youth: an olfactive diary of those who are writing their own future.
By layering fiery Sichuan pepper upon a foundation of Damascus rose, the fragrance deliberately defies convention, offering a twisted take on classic romance.

Blanche explores the smell of texture and skin; bodies slipping beneath fresh sheets; laundry baskets filled to the brim; a punch of soap. An aldehyde hit softens into delicate rose; through sandalwood and musk, the allure and intimacy of human touch.

With a focus on beauty and fantasy, Bal d'Afrique is Ben Gorham's 'love letter' to Africa. Wanting to sum up and celebrate the reach and influence of Africa through time, particularly the way its myriad cultures have shaped dance, art and music, the idea of an imaginary event.

A celebration of Spring's early blooming flowers. A floral scent capturing the strength and delicacy of wild garden blossoms, as they reach their breathtaking beauty.

Exploring through Super Cedar, Black Saffron, Bibliothèque, Oud Immortel, Mojave Ghost, and Accord Oud, each set takes you beyond the trees.

A modern scent reduced to the essential. The powerful woody notes of cedar inject energy, add warmth and lend verticality to the fragrance. Reminiscent of pencil shavings, it evokes a sense of nostalgia for school days and simpler times.
