Slow Dance

Slow Dance by Byredo (2019)

Released in 2019 and crafted by perfumer Jerome Epinette, Byredo Slow Dance is one of the brand’s most sensual Oriental Floral compositions. Built around geranium, violet, opopanax, patchouli, labdanum, and vanilla, the fragrance captures the intimate atmosphere of slow dancing in dim light: warm skin contact, the brush of fabric, breath against neck.

Our interpretation captures the same iconic sensual signature as a long-lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

Bottle size: 50ml · Concentration: Eau de Parfum (up to 40% perfume oil) · Made in EU

How It Smells

The opening is immediately warm and slightly green with refined geranium creating an unusual aromatic introduction. There is an instant sense of niche sensuality, intimate without being overwhelming.

The heart introduces refined violet and warm opopanax (sweet myrrh), building the sensual character that distinguishes Slow Dance from typical oriental compositions. The dry-down settles on smooth patchouli, refined labdanum, and warm vanilla. A base that lingers on skin for many hours with sensual, slightly sweet, deeply atmospheric depth.
