Gourmand Oud Fragrances

Byredo's Rouge Chaotique Combines Wildness and Sweetness

Byredo's Rouge Chaotique is one of the brand's newest scents and it's the label's first oud gourmand fragrance in the Night Veils collection. With contradictory notes, this perfume blends the spicy notes of oud and saffron with sweet, syrupy plum and nutty praline. This intense, genderless scent was inspired by the creative director and founder of Byredo, Ben Gorham, and the belief that "accepting the chaos within any creative process can result in singular forms of expression."

Rouge Chaotique is a scent that radiates with body heat and lingers for hours, sharing juicy, sensual, velvety-smooth notes.
