The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Byredo, Bullion is a Woody Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of contrasts and depth. The composition opens with plum and pink pepper, offering a sweet yet spicy burst. This gives way to the heart notes of osmanthus and magnolia, which bring warmth and floral softness. The base layers of leather, dark woody notes, musk, and sandalwood create a rich blend that is both animalic and comforting, making Bullion an intriguing journey from top to base.
Apply Bullion in moderation — its rich base notes take time to fully bloom. A single spray can last through the evening as the spicy top notes settle into the warm, leathery heart.
