About the Fragrance
 “…A lazy isle to which nature has 
given singular trees, savory fruits, men with bodies vigorous and 
slender, and women in whose eyes shines a startling candor.”
The poet Charles Baudelaire, famously a lover of perfume and the
 exoticism of faraway lands, was by turns cerebral, sensual, perverse, 
and sentimental. Byredo's homage to the French dandy reflects this 
mercurial nature with its multiple olfactory dimensions.
A gentle sweetness lies at the heart of Baudelaire, with 
hyacinth warmed by amber and a touch of fruit. This sentimental center 
gives way to the aromatics of caraway, patchouli, and juniper berries, 
with their green whiff of the brisk outdoors. Baudelaire's base truly 
provides a counterpoint to its initial warmth, the way that his poetry 
often launches into philosophy: sensuality gives way to aridity, with a 
dry, incense-y base of leather, patchouli and papyrus.
Earthy yet worldly, warm yet sophisticated, Baudelaire is as elegant as a dandy's walking stick.
