Slow Dance in detail
Byredo, the house founded in Stockholm, takes the name Slow Dance from the first slow dance of adolescence. The house files it among its intense woody fragrances; its short pyramid plays on resins and powdery flowers.
The official pyramid opens with a single ingredient, opopanax, a warm, balsamic, slightly sweet resin. The heart gathers rosy, minty geranium, ambery cistus labdanum and powdery violet. The base pairs earthy patchouli with vanilla, which rounds everything off. Few ingredients, but each one clearly legible.
Slow Dance is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter: a dinner, a night out, a dance. Its vanilla and opopanax give it an enveloping softness, which the patchouli keeps from turning too sweet. It will suit those who like vanilla with depth.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue share some of its materials: 1996, from the same house, brings together violet, patchouli and vanilla; Harrods Aoud by Roja Parfums pairs patchouli, vanilla and cistus labdanum; Oud Maracujá by Maison Crivelli combines cistus labdanum, patchouli and vanilla.
