The Byron fragrances
Red fruit, caramel, amber — and names that read like a playlist rather than a perfumery catalogue. Only two sizes: fifteen millilitres at 59 €, seventy-five at 210 €.

Malik
The name reads مالك — “the sovereign”. Where the whole collection plays on tinted glass, Malik takes a bottle lacquered in crackled gold, matte, opaque, closed with a black cap. Passion fruit and lychee open wide, saffron and nutmeg catch up with them, cinnamon closes. Four bottles in stock, in seventy-five millilitres only.
- Passion fruit
- Saffron
- Nutmeg
- Lychee
- Aldehydes
- Cinnamon
The Chronic Rouge
Raspberry and cream open almost like a dessert, then melon and pear broaden the fruit and stop it from sticking to the palate. Amber and the spicy notes close the march and give the sillage its length. With its blue version, it is one of the two best-stocked references on the shelf.
- Raspberry
- Cream
- Melon
- Pear
- Amber
- Spicy notes
The Chronic Bleu
Same cut glass, same gold cap, blue in place of red — and a composition that takes the opposite stance to the name it shares. Cinnamon and black pepper in the opening, leather and patchouli in the base, sandalwood to smooth the whole. The catalogue lists it as fruity; what it lists tells rather of a dry, warm material.
- Cinnamon
- Black pepper
- Amber
- Patchouli
- Leather
- Sandalwood
Mula Mula Rouge
The bottle is shorter and rounder, but the colour is the same as the Chronic Rouge — and the catalogue gives them exactly the same list of notes: raspberry, melon, pear, cream, amber, spices. Two distinct liquids in the shop, a single composition on the sheet: the house has not yet detailed what sets them apart.
- Raspberry
- Melon
- Pear
- Cream
- Amber
- Spices
Mula Mula Bleu
Ten fifteen-millilitre bottles in stock: it is by far the most available Byron reference on the shelf. Caramel and peach open gourmand, strawberry and raspberry keep the fruit lively, ginger and pink pepper stop the whole from turning to syrup.
- Caramel
- Peach
- Strawberry
- Raspberry
- Ginger
- Pink pepper
Daï-Quiri
Three notes, not one more: melon, pineapple, musk. The house is not after a complicated accord, it is after a cocktail — the name says as much. The glass is a frank red, almost translucent, and it is the only reference in the collection whose sheet fits on one line.
- Melon
- Pineapple
- Musk
Black Dragon
The glass shifts from black to gold, and the composition follows the same slope: honey, mango and pineapple open frankly sweet, tobacco and sandalwood catch them before they turn cloying. Vanilla holds the middle and links the two sides.
- Honey
- Mango
- Pineapple
- Vanilla
- Tobacco
- Sandalwood
Barba rossa
Only three notes in the catalogue, and they are enough: violet powders the opening, vanilla softens it, oud settles it in for the day. It is the only one from the house that the catalogue explicitly lists as a men's fragrance.
- Violet
- Vanilla
- Oud
Pirate 2.0
A dark amber liquid, almost black at the top of the bottle, lightening towards the base. Pear and tuberose open in a frank floral, the base goes looking for wood and resin. Two sizes, six fifteen-millilitre bottles in stock.
- Pear
- Tuberose
- White flowers
- Wood
- Resin
- Amber
Mula Mula Double Caramel
The only green glass in the house, and the only name that frankly announces dessert. Caramel drips across every one of the photographs: Byron has made it its visual signature as much as its top note. Seventy-five millilitres only.
- Caramel
- Vanilla
- Wood
- Tonka bean
Black butterfly
We received no packshot for this reference: the silhouette opposite is a drawing, not a photograph of the bottle. The composition, however, is complete — lime and cherry in the opening, tiaré and freesia at the heart, almond and iris in the base. The catalogue classes it as amber; yet it is the most floral of the six.
- Lime
- Cherry
- Tiaré
- Almond
- Iris
- Freesia
La French
A deep blue, almost ink, in the same cut glass as the Mula Mulas. Almond and coriander give the powdery grain, citrus fruits open, musk and vanilla hold the base. Available in both sizes, with five fifteen-millilitre bottles in stock.
- Fruits
- Almond
- Coriander
- Citrus fruits
- Musk
- Vanilla
Byron gift set
A white box whose house graffiti is embossed white on white — you can only read it in raking light. Inside, six fifteen-millilitre bottles standing in two rows: the blue, the red and the black of the collection. The least expensive way to travel through the house before choosing.
- Six bottles
- 15 ml each
- Embossed box
The collection
One bottle, fourteen colours.
It is the tint of the glass that names the fragrance.
The packshots always show the same object: a squat glass with cut shoulders, an engraved gold cap, the name in gold capitals set at the centre of the face. What changes from one reference to the next is the colour of the liquid — blue, red, green, amber — and it is the colour that gives the fragrance its name: The Chronic Bleu and Rouge, Mula Mula Rouge, Bleu, Vert and Double Caramel. The price grid is as simple as the bottle: 59 € for fifteen millilitres, 210 € for seventy-five, 280 € for the gift set. The shop's catalogue links the house to Madrid.
Packshots taken from the file given to the shop. As no documentation from the house has reached us, this page says of Byron only what the catalogue records and what the photographs show.
