Modern
Super Cedar represents Byredo's occasional foray into material-focused minimalism. Where the house typically builds evocative narratives, here they zoom in on a single wood with almost scientific precision, influenced by the single-ingredient philosophy that Le Labo and Escentric Molecules established.
