What does Byerley smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, while summer trails behind. It leans towards leisure, evening and business wear. Many call it masculine, and some find it classic.

The top notes, bergamot and cardamom, give a citrusy, green and spicy start. In the heart, cedarwood and gaiac wood build a woody base. The base of Java vetiver, myrrh tree and amber leaves an earthy, resinous and slightly smoky warmth.
