Byredo Fabric for Passive Perception
Violets, synthetically woody green, but with this Byredo fabric that gradually enriches itself. It always smells a little different from others. Artificial but with a lot of body, sometimes more plant-like, sometimes like fermented fruit or almost like turpentine.
This one is very dry, not fruity or anything like that. Ambrette adds body, musky-plant-like, woody.

The scent sits very well on the skin. Like a cosmetic product that you have on you.
“Off-White” fits in that it doesn’t smell like white flowers such as jasmine and not like a clean scent. It is, of course, exactly that at the same time.

After about 20 minutes, the scent becomes a bit creamy, the wood smells slightly charred, and after a brief irritation, it smells very good. Targeted smokiness, so it doesn’t become too trivial.

Woody-floral, creamy-powdery-smoky, yes exactly, nothing else. Just a hint of floral. I find it not so dissimilar to Narciso, by the way. But of course more “special.” And significantly more reduced. Seriously.

This one is made for careful dosing, for passive perception like elevator music, which the scent is named after.
One spray too much and too precise sniffing could tip the concept. Too much elevator music can also be hard to bear consciously.
I enjoy this play with perception. And a bit of irony in the name is certainly allowed.

After a few hours, I have gotten so used to the presence of the scent that a suddenly intense and sweeter hint rises to my nose as a surprise.

In terms of composition, it’s a scent that you might initially think, Hmm? that smells pleasant. And it remains so, including a few pleasant surprises when the scent reminds you of itself.
That’s quite an achievement.
Unobtrusive, hip, and elegant.
That’s it. Already sold out.

Elevator music? That sounds so banal that it’s off-putting. Who wants to smell like meaningless background noise?

Subtle violet-ambrette scent that lingers for a long time. The burnt wood in the base (similar to oud) wasn't necessary.

The name is unexpected and atypical. I think it's great. Hopefully the scent is too!
