Byredo Encens Chembur ~ fragrance review

Posted by Kevin on 6 September 2017 22 Comments

One of my favorite times of year to wear incense perfumes is during Indian Summer — when days are hot and nights are chilly. Light and soft incense perfumes fit perfectly with the scents of dry leaves and the lingering aromas of smoke from neighborhood fireplaces.

I think we’re working on using scent to communicate emotions and tell stories of people, culture and design. It’s a layer we’ve imagined can add a very intimate experience to this scale that IKEA works in.

— Ben Gorham of Byredo, talking about his collaboration with Ikea. Read more at IKEA X Byredo Will Transform Your Home's Signature Scent at Lonny. More information, but not much, can be found at Vogue UK, which says they will create “new ways of adding scents in your home”, but you won't see the products for 2 more years.
