Rodeo
Byredo (2016)

From the very start I get the full leather treatment. Is it a rich, quite dark and aged leather, fitting given the association with a saddle that the name of this creation alludes to quite clearly.

In the drydown a some violet appears and blends in nicely with the leather note. The leather continues way into the base, and it remains quite smooth with a suede component; there is no significant harshness present, and I do no get any smokiness of and kind. What I do get, at times at least, are whiffs of a very restrained gasoline component. Towards the end I get some touches of amber added it.

I get moderate sillage, very good projection and a splendid longevity of twelve hours on my skin.

A lovely scent for colder autumn days evenings, which is blended well and balanced nice. 3.5/5.

Rodeo is a very dry suede leather perfume that has a violet leather tone and a slight grassy base note. The scent is very subtle and far in the background I sometimes smell a bit of animal barnyard scent, this could be a touch of jasmine absolute. It is very dry and austere and fades in and out with no real bold character notes to pin a memory to. This is a cool silent type of horse saddle leather that is a quality leather fragrance all around. I would give it 7.5 of 10 stars. I had to have my own bottle of this.
