About Byredo Eyes Closed
Eyes Closed is a unisex spiced iris EDP from Byredo, released in 2022. It's a warm, introspective fragrance — cinnamon and cardamom lead in, orris and carrot seeds build a powdery iris core, and papyrus and patchouli give it an earthy, dry finish. Quiet and intimate rather than loud and projecting.
Cinnamon and cardamom open with warm, aromatic spice. The cinnamon is soft rather than sharp, and the cardamom adds a slightly herbal, rounded quality. Together they create a cozy, warm opening.
Orris, carrot seeds, and ginger form the heart. Orris (iris root) is powdery and slightly rooty — it gives the fragrance its cool, powdery quality. Carrot seeds add an unusual earthy, slightly woody dimension. The ginger brings a gentle warmth that ties the spices together.
Papyrus and patchouli close the fragrance. Papyrus is dry and slightly papery, and patchouli adds earthiness with subtle sweetness. The base is warm and quiet.
Good year-round. Works well for quiet, everyday occasions — this is a skin-close, introspective fragrance rather than a statement scent.
