The story behind the bottle.
Sunday Cologne by Byredo was launched in 2011 and crafted by perfumer Jérôme Epinette. This Woody Aromatic fragrance seamlessly blends fresh spicy notes with citrus and earthy undertones, creating a composition that feels both invigorating and grounded. The opening of bergamot and star anise is bright and crisp, giving way to the warmth of cardamom and lavender, while vetiver and oak moss anchor the scent with their earthy depth. This fragrance embodies the essence of Byredo's commitment to translating memories and emotions into tangible experiences.
For best results, apply Sunday Cologne to pulse points and let it develop for about an hour before reapplying if needed. The citrus top notes are vibrant but short-lived, so layering the fragrance can help maintain its overall character throughout the day.
