Future Memories
Future Memories by Byredo is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with blackcurrant, aldehydes and galbanum, moves into labdanum, orris butter, orange blossom and vanilla and dries down to musk, vanilla and ambroxan. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
- Aldehydes Fizzy, soapy, slightly waxy. The 'sparkle' at the top of Chanel No. 5.
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
Heart
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Orris Butter The expensive form of iris. Cold, buttery, faintly carrot and violet.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
