Bibliothèque
Eau de parfum
Old leather-bound books on dark wooden shelves.
Bibliothèque immerses you in a world suspended in time: that of old books, their leather-bound pages lined up on dark wooden shelves. First Byredo's most loved candle, it became an eau de parfum at the request of its followers.
Plum and cinnamon open on a fruity, spicy softness. A leather accord and violet form the heart, then birch wood, patchouli and vanilla settle into a deep, enveloping base. A leathery woody scent, hushed like a reading room.

Bibliothèque in detail
Byredo, born in Stockholm, translates memories and emotions into fragrances of great clarity. Bibliothèque evokes old leather-bound books on dark wooden shelves: a warm, fruity, slightly leathery woody fragrance that smells of paper, wood and time.
The official pyramid opens on plum and cinnamon, a fruity, spicy start. The heart pairs leather and violet, which give the fragrance its powdery texture, like an old binding. The base brings together slightly smoky birch, patchouli and vanilla, a soft, woody foundation.
Bibliothèque is worn in autumn and winter, by day or by night: a day of reading, at the office on a cold day, a dinner. It will suit anyone who loves cosy, muted indoor fragrances.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue share its materials: Abu Dhabi by Memo Paris brings together plum, patchouli and vanilla; Cedrat Boisé by Mancera pairs patchouli, leather and vanilla with citrus; Oud Maracujá by Maison Crivelli finds leather, patchouli and vanilla again around oud.
