Bottle drawn in the shade of the fragrance
Eleventh Hour
Eau de parfum
A journey to the edge of the world, between timut pepper, wild fig and rum.
Eleventh Hour is inspired by the Swiss explorer Ella Maillart, one of the few Westerners to reach Nepal in 1951, and by a question: which would be the last habitable places if the oceans rose? Byredo answers with the peaks of the Himalayas.
Bergamot and Nepalese timut pepper, with its grapefruit accents, open the composition. Rum, carrot seed and wild fig form a fruity, warm heart, resting on tonka bean and cashmere wood.

Eleventh Hour in detail
Byredo often tells stories of travel. Eleventh Hour follows in the footsteps of the Swiss explorer Ella Maillart, one of the few Westerners to reach Nepal in 1951, and asks a question: if the oceans rose, would the peaks of the Himalayas be the last refuges?
The official pyramid opens with bergamot and Nepalese timut pepper, with its grapefruit accents. The heart brings together rum, earthy carrot seed and wild fig. The base pairs tonka bean and soft, enveloping cashmere wood. Byredo describes it as fruity; Volute files it among woody fragrances.
Eleventh Hour can be worn from spring to winter, by day or by night, by anyone who likes travel fragrances that are at once spicy and comforting.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue come close: Abu Dhabi by Memo Paris shares bergamot and carrot seed; Danaë by Argos pairs bergamot and cashmere wood; Absolu Aventus by Creed finds bergamot again in a smokier woody fragrance.
