About Late Lunch
Late Lunch by Byredo: A Salty, Aromatic Midday Retreat
Byredo introduces Late Lunch, a new citrus-aromatic fragrance for men and women, debuting in 2026. Crafted by French perfumer Nicolas Bonneville, it evokes a sun-drenched break from the day, wrapped in unexpected earthy and marine tones.
The composition opens with a bold salt note, unusual for the category, alongside galbanum and rosemary. This green aromatic duo is brightened by mandarin and lime, which add a zesty lift without overpowering the underlying minerality.
This is for fragrance lovers who appreciate aromatic, green, and salty compositions with a modern twist. It’s particularly suited to daytime wear in moderate climates, but also works well as an office scent for those who prefer something more individual. If you enjoy niche, characterful perfumes, this is likely your lane.
Late Lunch is a compelling oddity from Byredo, one that rewards patient wearers with its subtle layers and evocative storytelling. Though it may not immediately win over everyone, its bold use of salt and resin ensures it leaves a lasting impression. Recommended for those who like their citrus served with depth.
