The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Byredo and crafted by Jérôme Epinette, Eleventh Hour is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of an urgent yet luxurious moment. The composition opens with bergamot and timur pepper, creating a fresh spicy tension that gives way to plum and rum notes, adding layers of warmth and depth. Cedar and cashmere wood form the base, grounding the scent in earthy, powdery comfort. This fragrance is a proof of Byredo's commitment to translating memories and emotions into tangible experiences.
Apply Eleventh Hour with two sprays — the spicy top notes will quickly capture attention while the base notes slowly reveal themselves over time. This fragrance reads well close to skin rather than from across the room, making it ideal for intimate settings.
