I love listening. It is one of the only spaces where you can be still and moved at the same time. — Nayyirah Waheed — Monday May 23rd — —

The Tree House

A lovely new fragmented candle by Byredo: The Tree House. The smell is poetic, with a top of pimento and bamboo, a mid of hay, labdanum and myrrh and a base of blond cedarwood, guaiac wood, sandalwood and leather.
Specially  created for Byredo’s Japan launch at Adam et Ropé Biotop, Tokyo. The store’s courtyard houses a Takashi Kobayashi tree house in a grand camphor tree which has been there since the store opened over 20 years ago. Because of their constant exposure to rain and the fact that most tree houses are built with scraps of various woods they all smell quite unique. This tree house became a very visual reference for the candle. It was also based on the idea of Japanese woods, which is a theme that flows throughout Biotop.
