In the 18th century, the Italian perfume maker of the original Eau de Cologne, Giovanni Maria Farina, wrote to his brother that, “I have found a fragrance that reminds me of an Italian spring morning, of mountain daffodils and orange blossoms after the rain.“
The essential qualities of eau de cologne, the lightest of all the perfume categories, with their fresh and casually elegant mix of citrus, floral, and herb oils, have remained intact throughout the centuries. This basic DNA of eau de cologne remains in Byredo's Sunday Cologne, but with added body and depth, warmth and diffusion. Star anise and cardamom add a touch of olfactory heat and sweetness to Sunday Cologne. Meanwhile, incense adds a spicy bite; patchouli displays a rough, camphorous glow; moss and vetiver harmonize to add a touch of earthiness. Sunday Cologne perfectly balances crispness with warmth, convention with edge.
