Slow Dance
Slow Dance by Byredo is an unisex eau de parfum from 2020 in the niche price tier. It opens with violet and opoponax, moves into vanilla, benzoin and cinnamon and dries down to labdanum, musk and guaiac wood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
- Opoponax Sweet myrrh. Balsamic, warm and slightly medicinal.
Heart
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Dry-down
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
