Sellier

Sellier by Byredo (2019)

Released in 2019 as part of Byredo’s Night Veils Extrait de Parfum collection and crafted by perfumer Jerome Epinette, Byredo Sellier was one of the most beloved leather fragrances in modern niche perfumery. Built around cashmeran, black tea, leather, tobacco leaf, birch, and oakmoss, this Woody Leather composition captured the equestrian world of riding crops, saddles, and antique smoking rooms. Reviewers consistently described it as “the most photorealistic leather” in modern niche perfumery.

Byredo Sellier was phased out in 2025 and replaced by Cuir Sellier 2025, a slightly reformulated version with different packaging. The original 2019 Sellier extrait is now discontinued, and authentic bottles command increasingly premium prices on resale markets. Our interpretation references the original 2019 formulation as a long-lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

The Night Veils Collection

Byredo’s Night Veils is a prestigious extrait de parfum collection designed to capture the intimacy and intensity of night-blooming flowers and quiet moments. Sellier was one of the most beloved compositions in the line, celebrated for its photorealistic leather character and atmospheric tobacco-tea dry-down. The 2025 reformulation maintains similar DNA but is considered different enough by fans that they actively hunt for original 2019 bottles.

How It Smells

The opening is immediately distinctive with smooth cashmeran and refined black tea creating an aromatic introduction. There is an instant sense of niche luxury and serious presence.

The heart introduces the soul of Sellier: photorealistic leather paired with smoky tobacco leaf creates a vintage smoking-room atmosphere that distinguishes the fragrance from typical leather compositions. The dry-down settles on warm birch and refined oakmoss. A base that lingers on skin for many hours with sophisticated, slightly smoky, deeply atmospheric leather depth.
