Bullion Byredo for women and men

“It’s a combination of places, food and, most, importantly people.”
His spicy aroma finds its roots in a mixture of pink pepper, magnolia sandalwood, leather accord and sensual musks. Like all the other Byredo fragrances, Bullion is a unisex and I must confess this is one of the best ever made by Byredo, it is very well done. If you have not liked Byredo so far, give it another chance, try on Bullion, maybe you can change your mind.

One of the weirdest things I've tried in while. The first opening was syrupy sweet combo of plum and osmanthus, soon leather appeared making this a weird mix indeed.
I find leather in Bullion to be very dirty and smoky. Unfortunately I do not get any spices, but nevertheless this a very unique combination. Even though plum makes this very sweet and feminine, the leather and woody background makes this more suitable for a man, so I am very tempted to see how this works on a male skin.
In overall - could be easily worn by both sexes and should be a "must try" for every lover of leather note in perfumery as this, in my opinion, is a completely new take on this note. And a good offering from Byredo.

Bullion by Byredo is possibly the most atypical Byredo so far. It still shows a remarkably synthetic edge but it's so nicely blended to result perfectly balanced and "in tune".

My reading is: Part Daim Blond (the apricot-osmanthus-suedey facets), part Chambre Noir (the leathery-plummy-sandalwood), part Boxeuses (the plummy-woody notes), part Cuir Amethyste (the sweetish fruity leather). Add to this the good side of Tuscan Leather (the saffrony-leathery aspect) and lay it down on a thick, dark and deep woody base. Potentially overwhelming yet so incredibly balanced. Good sillage, great lasting power. Probably not my type of fragrance but etremely well done and accomplished.

Thumbs up!

I'm not sure how Byredo have managed to recreate the hedonistic atmosphere of an exotic bazarr, but that's exactly where I'm transported to when wearing this scent. Talk about taking a trip to an Eastern paradise in a bottle.

Bullion opens up as a sweet, spicy and heady mix of plum, pink pepper and leather, although it's the sandalwood and musk that gives the whole fragrance a unique kick. The fragrance seems to alternate over time on my skin between sweet spice and woodsy notes. Reasonable sillage (it will get you noticed but won't knock people over) and longevity is about 5-6 hours. I think a man or a woman could easily wear this scent.

I understand that Bullion is only available to purchase in the Middle East, so I shall cherish my sample from the Perfumed Court!

Is it like One Bullion?
