These fragrances are crafted to honor the magic hour when the world quiets, and transformation begins. Intimate, opulent, and long-lasting, they form a duo that speaks in whispers and lingers like a memory.
Byredo’s Night Veils Collection
Conceived as evening rituals, the Night Veils are extrait de parfums formulated with the most noble raw materials. Inspired by botanicals that bloom after dusk, each fragrance in the collection is designed to unfold slowly, speaking more to the soul than the senses. With exceptional longevity and soft sillage, they embody a quiet luxury meant for those who wear scent as a second skin.

Heart Notes: Rose, Incense
Base Notes: Patchouli, Ambrette Seeds
Regal and enigmatic, Reine de Nuit envelops the wearer in rich layers of rose and incense, with saffron lending a spice-laced opulence. A heart full of florals rests on a bed of patchouli and musky ambrette, conjuring the image of silk gowns, candlelit corridors, and secrets shared in hushed tones.

Though distinct in tone and texture, Reine de Nuit and Vanille Antique form a cohesive pair. One reigns with floral spice, the other soothes with velvety warmth. For the fragrance connoisseur who moves through life with grace and purpose, both scents offer an invitation to explore the many moods of nightfall.
