"I think there's something special about the night, it's a different world of possibilities; another version of you, a nocturnal sense of duality." - Ben Gorham, Creative Director and Founder of Byredo.

Rouge Chaotique, the first gourmand oud fragrance in our Night Veils collection, is inspired by Ben Gorham's belief that embracing chaos within any creative process can generate unique forms of expression.

At the top, a prelude of precious saffron gives way to the fresh juiciness of blackcurrant and bergamot, with a digression of spicy leather. Soft and velvety gourmand notes form the heart, while the syrupy scents of plum and the toasted sweetness of praline transform into an irresistible forbidden pleasure. Derived from one of the most sought-after raw materials in the world, the animalistic sensuality of oud leads to the spectacular finale, mixed with patchouli and balanced by the crunch of papyrus leaves.

Distilled into pure essence, a small amount of Rouge Chaotique acts closer to the skin and diffuses through body heat, persisting for many hours.
