Open Sky

Open Sky by Byredo is a distinctive, aromatic woody fragrance with a bold and polarizing cannabis note that dominates the middle phase. The opening features a sharp, tart pomelo that gives way to an earthy, herbal, green cannabis accord, which many describe as reminiscent of a specific strain of marijuana—dry, slightly grassy, and potent. Over time, the fragrance settles into a subtle, smoky vetiver and palo santo base with a hint of black pepper, creating a calm, grounded, and slightly introspective scent. It is not flamboyant or overwhelming, but its intense character requires a certain openness. The perfume performs best in summer or warm weather, especially outdoors, and projects moderately with a personal, intimate presence. It is generally appreciated by those drawn to complex, naturalistic scents that eschew traditional fruity or floral tropes. While some find the cannabis note overpowering or nauseating, others find it deeply interesting and uniquely evocative of open skies, forest air, and quiet contemplation. It is a fragrance that challenges expectations and rewards those willing to engage with its unconventional character.
