Byredo Parfums Sunday Cologne EDP

Description

Byredo's Sunday Cologne takes the classic eau de cologne structure (bright citrus, herbal freshness) and softens it into something more contemplative. Bergamot and star anise open onto a lavender-and-incense heart before vetiver, oakmoss, and patchouli ground it into a quiet finish. First released in 2011, it's less a loud citrus splash and more a "day off" scent, built for easy, unhurried wear.

Scent Character

• Woody: 23%
• Smoky/Resinous: 23%
• Floral: 22%
• Spicy: 22%
• Fresh: 10%

Translation: a soft citrus-aromatic cologne with a smoky-incense undertone, rather than a straightforward fresh citrus.

FAQ

Is this unisex?
Yes.

Does it contain real oud?
No. There's no agarwood in the formula. The depth comes from oakmoss, patchouli, and incense.

What's the longevity like?
Light: typically 3–6 hours, so reapplication during the day is normal.

Is this the same as the Eau de Cologne version?
No. Byredo released a separate Eau de Cologne edition of Sunday in 2014; this listing is the original 2011 Eau de Parfum.
