Byredo Parfums Velvet Haze EDP

Description

Velvet Haze is Byredo's ode to a hazy, psychedelic dreamscape, perfumer Jérôme Epinette's 2017 gourmand built around coconut water sliding into deep patchouli and dark cacao, wrapped in wild musk. It's one of the house's creamier, sweeter releases: closer to a sense-memory than a straightforward gourmand.
