The story behind the bottle.
Russell Westbrook by Byredo is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that launched in 2015. This scent combines the aromatic punch of gin with the earthy warmth of tobacco and vetiver, creating an intriguing tension between its sharp top notes and its deeper, more sensual base. The inclusion of osmanthus and black violet adds unexpected layers of sweetness and depth, while suede brings a subtle touch of leather that rounds out the composition. This fragrance is as much about contrast as it is about harmony.
Russell Westbrook has a strong opening but settles into its base notes within about two hours. Apply it to pulse points for a more layered experience as it evolves throughout the day. It's best suited for evening wear or cooler weather when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
