The story behind the bottle.
Elevator Music by Byredo was launched in 2018 and is a collaboration between the Swedish brand and Off-White, fronted by Virgil Abloh. Perfumer Ben Gorham crafted this Floral Woody Musk fragrance for both women and men, blending notes of woodiness, musk, florals, powdery nuances, aromatics, green elements, amber, and violet. The composition opens with a fresh green and aromatic top, which transitions into a soft floral heart before settling into a warm, enveloping base of woody and powdery musks.
Apply Elevator Music with one or two sprays to avoid overwhelming its delicate balance. The green top notes are fleeting, so allow it time to transition into its heart and base for a more nuanced experience. This fragrance reads better close to the skin rather than filling a room.
