Byredo Alto Astral

To the stars and back — in Brazil, such a euphoric state of mind is called alto astral. Inspired by this magical country, its culture, optimism, and constant movement, Byredo’s fragrance takes its name from this beloved local expression.

Full of rhythm, color, and heat, Alto Astral plays with notes that dance like samba at dusk, flutter like ocean breeze on the beach, and roar like motorbikes through the streets of Rio - a city that radiates pure life energy.

The fragrance opens with an irresistible accord of aldehydes and coconut, creating a sparkling yet smooth and creamy introduction to this olfactory study of Rio. At its heart, jasmine, incense, and milky musk notes merge into an abstract warmth that lingers on the skin. In the base, sandalwood, cashmere wood, and salty amber build texture and leave a sensual trail.

The visual campaign accompanying the fragrance is the work of Brazilian artists - photographers, dancers, and filmmakers.
