Eyes Closed
Eyes Closed by Byredo is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with cardamom and cinnamon, moves into carrot seed, orris butter and ginger and dries down to papyrus and patchouli. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Heart
- Carrot Seed Earthy, rooty and oddly powdery. Often used to echo iris.
- Orris Butter The expensive form of iris. Cold, buttery, faintly carrot and violet.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Dry-down
- Papyrus Dry, smoky, papery wood. Vetiver's quieter cousin.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
