About Oboro
Byredo Oboro: A New Woody-Spicy Fragrance
Oboro is the new creation from Byredo, a woody-spicy fragrance designed for both men and women. Launched in 2026, it was created by perfumer Jérôme Epinette.
The opening brings bergamot, ginger, and black pepper. Violet leaves, mineral notes, and peony form the heart, while incense, vetiver, amber, and salt anchor the base with warmth and a subtle smoky tone.
Byredo introduces Oboro as a new unisex addition to its collection. The scent belongs to the woody-spicy olfactory family and plays on the contrast between freshness and depth. Jérôme Epinette is the perfumer behind this composition.
Top notes remain bright: bergamot gives a citrus sparkle, ginger adds a lively kick, and black pepper contributes an aromatic edge. The heart of violet leaves, mineral notes, and peony brings a cool, almost airy feel to the blend.
At the base, incense and vetiver create a smoky, earthy core. Amber wraps the composition in warmth, while salt adds a mineral and subtly aquatic nuance. The result sits between fresh clarity and resinous darkness.
Listed accords describe a fresh-spicy profile with amber, ozonic, citrus, aquatic, mineral, aromatic, smoky, and woody facets. This versatility makes Oboro suitable for many occasions and seasons.
Early ratings place the fragrance at 4.36 out of 5 based on 25 reviews. As with any scent, its development on the skin will depend on the wearer.
Oboro will appeal to anyone who likes woody-spicy unisex fragrances with a mineral and lightly smoky edge. It also suits fans of Byredo and those who enjoy fresh openings that turn into warm, resinous drydowns.
Oboro is a balanced woody-spicy fragrance from Byredo, pairing bright citrus and spice with mineral notes and a smoky amber base. It is a promising 2026 release for anyone seeking a nuanced unisex perfume.
