When the heat is on, your beloved fragrance can suddenly evolve into a heavy cloak that drags you down all day, quite apart from the fact it may react badly with sun protection creams or irritate parched skin. A downside of this is the discovery that some perfumes leave oily residue, are drying for the hair, or could even stain that pristine white linen shirt you so carefully ironed this morning…
Byredo to the rescue, then, with their trio of specifically designed hair perfumes – a new way to enjoy some of your favourite scents from their range, or perhaps a chance to try a subtle spritz of them for the first time. And what a godsend for those of you (and we know you’re out there) who maybe don’t like to wear fragrance on your skin anyway!
Byredo say: ‘…a hair perfume collection that invites you to care for and delicately scent the hair in one sensuous beautifying gesture. Enjoy the uplifting power of long lasting scents as they subtly diffuse throughout the day, amplified by the natural movement of the hair. Each hair perfume combines one of BYREDO’s signature scents with a unique formula to create a light, invisible veil designed to leave the hair nourished and luminous whilst divinely scented.’
