Inez & Vinoodh Byredo 2013 Eau de Parfum
1996 — Inez & Vinoodh is named for a polaroid the photographer duo took in that year, and the perfume aims for the same texture: cool, slightly stark, a little dangerous in soft focus.

By the editors · 2 min read1996 — Inez & Vinoodh is named for a polaroid the photographer duo took in that year, and the perfume aims for the same texture: cool, slightly stark, a little dangerous in soft focus. Juniper and black pepper open it dry and resinous, less spicy than astringent.
In the heart, leather meets orris and violet — the leather suede rather than tannin, the iris dusty, the violet metallic. It dries down into patchouli, black amber and vanilla, but the vanilla never sweetens; it just adds a humming low end. Reads like a black-and-white photograph that won't quite resolve into a face. Wears unisex, autumnal.
