Alto Astral

With Alto Astral, Byredo unveils a luminous new chapter in its olfactory narrative—a fragrance that pays vibrant homage to the emotional topography of Brazil. Taking its name from a Brazilian Portuguese phrase evoking elevated mood and spiritual brightness, Alto Astral distills the soul of optimism, rhythm, and cultural vitality into scent.

Radiating with the color, energy, and warmth of Brazil, Alto Astral is inspired by the country’s everyday poetry: samba at sundown, the salty rush of ocean winds, motorcyclists weaving through Rio’s streets with effortless flair. This fragrance is more than a composition—it’s a shared emotional resonance. A sensory portrait of collective exuberance that persists, pulses, and uplifts.

Crafted by longtime Byredo collaborator Jérome Epinette, Alto Astral opens with a vibrant interplay of aldehydes and creamy coconut—an effervescent yet soft introduction that captivates immediately. At its heart, jasmine petals entwine with airy incense and milky musk, forming an abstract warmth that seems to hover just above the skin. The base unveils a sensual trail of sandalwood, cashmere wood, and salted amber, offering texture, depth, and lingering luminosity.

Balancing clarity with comfort, freshness with familiarity, Alto Astral is a fragrance of emotional light—an olfactive expression of upliftment and ease.
