About the Fragrance
In the ancient Mediterranean city of
Palermo, the regional capital of Sicily, the orange trees that Berber
and Moorish emirs planted long ago still grow. Their bergamot and
bigarade fruits light up Byredo's Palermo, a scent as close to olfactory
happiness as you can get, a perfume played in the highest, brightest
keys.
Palermo's citrus grove sits alongside a rose garden, its rose
bushes greened up in spring with the smell of crushed orange tree leaves
and sliced fruits: lemon, lime, grapefruit, and maybe even aromatic
pomelo. In its opening, an effervescent freshness of citrus juice is
layered with cut citrus rinds, their zest oils conveying a more intense
richness, bitterness, and spice.
During your walk in the garden, as the sun warms your skin, a
warm musk rises up, slightly powdery, softening the bracing freshness of
the hesperidic top notes of Palermo and helping the freshness to linger
with the warmth. This is a unisex fragrance perfect for warmer months.
