The story behind the bottle.
Mister Marvelous by Byredo, launched in 2011, is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that embodies the essence of modern masculinity. The composition opens with fresh and invigorating notes of petitgrain and neroli, which are balanced by the green and aromatic nuances of bamboo and lavender. As it evolves, Virginia cedar and amber provide warmth and depth, creating a scent that feels both contemporary and lasting.
Apply one to two sprays directly on pulse points. The fresh citrus and aromatic top notes are most prominent initially but give way to the woodier base notes over time. Mister Marvelous is best suited for daytime wear when its crisp freshness can be fully appreciated.
