Isleta is an extraordinary fragrance that shines with the generosity of summer. This bright green floral weaves a delicate dance between fresh grass and sultry jasmine sambac, savory fig and aromatic white tea.

The Nero collection

“Sacreste comes out from the study of another perfume that I have been trying to realize for eight years. Two years ago I received a trial fragrance by Luca Maffei which was characterized by an incense note I really like. We have been working on that note, finishing it and making it sensual until we arrived at the final project, that I completely love.”

‘All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream’

From "A Dream Within a Dream" by Edgar Allen Poe

***

A visionary scent, pulled from the unconscious mind via an ocean of gauzy marine dreams. Sogno Reale brims with brine-leather, sea urchins and electrified air. Calm sea meets volcanic fumes, woods and a sun-bright shock of lemon and bergamot. Warm rum and sweet, earthen patchouli swirl protectively around gentle tuberose and a quiet dose of hyraceum, warming its fur in the Mediterranean sun.  Sogno Reale is balm for the soul; a talisman dreamed into existence, the unconscious mind made extraordinary perfumed flesh.

Over millions of years, persistent rainwater gnaws at porous limestone, carving out karsts deep within the earth. Carried in droplets, sediment grows upon itself, forming misshapen statues. The stalagmites and stalactites reach for one another, patient in the knowledge that one day they will meet. No sunlight breaches these cavern walls, but something has. Somewhere in time, a family of olms, aquatic salamanders, wandered into the limestone cave and never re-emerged. Generations in darkness have stripped the olms of colour and sight. Pale and blind they wait, sometimes for years, for the subterranean river to deliver a meal of larvae or shrimp to their murky abode.

Close your eyes and follow Zoologist Olm into a cavern of sensory delight. Aromachemicals float in mineral water, flowing into a dewy limestone passage that shimmers with algae and amber, stirring up earthy sandalwood and musks. Olm is not seen. Olm is felt. Let this unique fragrance awaken something deep within you.

Chaco is the second largest primary forest of Latin America, called the "impenetrable forest" for its incredibly dense formation. This Paraguayan forest is the only place in the world where gaiac wood grows, known locally as palo santo. The region is also prized by perfumers as source of petitgrain essential oil, as well yerba maté tea leaves. Chaco the fragrance is a cologne style built around a refined tea structure. Perfumer Alexandra Monet placed the petitgrain and maté in conversation with each other, heightening each other’s mellow greenness in the process. Palo santo, with its woody, salty and smoky facets, brings warmth and sensuality, resulting in a unique unisex signature with lightness and modern elegance.

About Eleventh Hour by Byredo

How does Eleventh Hour differ from the fragrances listed here?
Eleventh Hour uniquely balances fruity notes like prune and fig with resinous and woody components such as rum, frankincense, and labdanum. While the listed fragrances share some of these notes, none replicate the exact combination or the smoky, ambery depth created by the interplay of these accord layers.
Which fragrances here highlight the woody aspects of Eleventh Hour?
Sacreste, Olm, and Chaco emphasise woody notes such as cedarwood and cashmeran found in Eleventh Hour. They each offer different interpretations, from fresh and mineral to green and aromatic, but all maintain a woody core.
Are there any fragrances here with similar resinous or ambery qualities?
Yes, St. Paul's, Sogno Reale, and Sacreste share resinous notes like frankincense and labdanum that contribute to Eleventh Hour’s ambery character. These fragrances vary in their additional spicy, marine, or fresh elements.
