The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Byredo, La Selle is a Leather fragrance that encapsulates the brand's commitment to translating memories and emotions into tangible experiences. The composition opens with a bold presence of leather and birch, creating an earthy and smoky atmosphere. As it settles, tobacco leaf and oakmoss add depth, while cashmeran and black tea introduce subtle warmth and complexity, making La Selle a scent that feels both lasting and intimate.
Apply La Selle in light layers — it develops best close to skin rather than projecting widely. Allow it to settle for about 15 minutes before fully appreciating its nuanced depth.
