About
Slow Dance by Byredo is a fragrance for women and men. Slow Dance was launched in 2019. The nose behind this fragrance is Jérôme Epinette. Top notes are Opoponax and Cognac; middle notes are Labdanum, Violet and Geranium; base notes are Vanilla, Patchouli and Incense. "The slow dance: A rites-of-passage moment for both girls and boys before they metamorphose into women and men. A feeling of exhilaration tempered by awkwardness, a heady collision of innocence and experience, not knowing and knowing, felt across countries, cultures and time. Slow Dance mixes ideas of the feminine and masculine, bitter and sweet, in a rich, intoxicating distillation redolent of warm skin and breathless exchange. Here (high school) clichés mingle and become something more; at once familiar and iconoclastic, the ancient perfumer’s arsenal is made modern and anew." - a note from the brand.
