At this point, I’m sure you’re inundated with must-see holiday sale content. (I personally can never get enough stylish gifting ideas, but I understand if the internet is giving you whiplash at the moment!) We’ve identified plenty of under-the-radar deals worth a scroll from Nordstrom, Sephora, and Ulta, featuring many high-end brands that almost never offer discounts. But then… there’s Byredo. The luxury Stockholm-based brand famously refrains from all the Black Friday madness, which is a shame for our wallets because the fragrance and makeup products truly make the chicest holiday gifts.
But! It has come to my attention that Byredo is offering an exclusive Black Friday deal this year: a limited-edition pouch containing three or more coveted items. When you spend $235 or more, you’ll automatically receive a 50ml Blanche Body Wash, a 50ml Blanche Body Lotion, and a 30g Bibliothèque candle; purchases of $330 or more will result in a slightly bigger gift comprising of a a 50ml Blanche Body Wash, 50ml Blanche Body Lotion, 30ml Blanche Hand Cream, and an 8ml Bal d’Afrique Eau de Parfum.

No, the brand isn’t offering specific markdowns. But considering one fragrance typically costs $235, it’s essentially a buy-one-get-four deal when the additional trio appears in your cart. Those savings count for something, right? At the very least, it’s a surefire way to get the most bang for your buck with a Byredo purchase you’ll probably wind up snagging anyway. I repeat: The minimalist-chic products make the best gifts.
If you’ve been contemplating a specific fragrance or makeup staple for a minute, I’d go ahead and bite while the free pouches are still up for grabs. A limited-edition offer, the curation is only available while supplies last, so consider this your sign to restock your winter fragrance wardrobe or get your hands on a new bottle you’ve been itching to try. If you need help filling your cart, I’ve got you; below, find the Byredo products I recommend stockpiling this holiday season.
My Favorite Byredo Products to Shop This Holiday Season
Byredo
Alto Astral
You might not associate coconut perfumes with winter, but leave it to Byredo to create one that feels fitting year-round. I suspect that’s because in addition to the fresh, creamy fruit, it has an oaky, spicy dry-down that gives it a seductive edge. Trust my review—it’s worth trying. I actually was a coconut-perfume hater until I tested this elevated potion!
Byredo
Bal D’afrique
Before Alto Astral came along, this was my all-time favorite Byredo scent. With a fresh blend of bergamot, African marigold, violet, vetiver, and Moroccan cedarwood, I can’t help but smile every time I wear it.
Byredo
Le Corps Gypsy Water
Citrus-forward and earthy, Gypsy Water feels like a straight-up indulgence. All the more reason to add it to your shower lineup.
Byredo
Rose of No Man’s Land Absolu De Parfum
Rose Of No Man’s Land is already quite the intoxicating, spicy rose, but the absolu version amps up the smokiness in a way that makes it even more of a head-turner. It’s worth the pretty penny; I get compliments every single time I wear it.
Byredo
La Maison Bibliothèque
You do get a Bibliothèque candle in the limited-edition pouch, but once you catch a whiff of this warm, woody library-inspired scent, you’ll want one burning in every corner of your home. This set also comes with the brand’s black wick trimmer and a ceramic lid embossed with the Byredo “B”, in case you need another reason to add it to cart, stat.
Byredo
Blanche
Blanche is fresh laundry and sun-warmed linens. While you do get the body wash, lotion, and hand cream in the gift with purchase, the standalone fragrance is worth your attention. If you love smelling crisp and clean, you’ll fall head over heels for this peony-, violet-, and aldehyde-infused potion.
Byredo
Gypsy Water
As I mentioned, Gypsy Water is a gorgeous fresh, woody blend that never fails to earn compliments. It doesn’t fly under the radar by any means (it’s a brand best-seller), but it’s so intoxicating that it’s no surprise everyone wants a whiff.
Byredo
Les Mains Suede
And the winner for the chicest hand soap duo goes to…
Byredo
Eyeshadow 5 Colors Ocean Haze
Byredo’s eye shadow palettes tend to become instant collectibles, as they sell out in a snap. I just know this five-pan holiday version created by Italian makeup artist Lucia Pica will be no exception.
Byredo
Tinted Lip Care
I can already hear the oohs and ahhs from my friends as I pluck this buildable lippie from my makeup bag.
Byredo
Bibliophilia Eyeshadow Palette
Remember when I said Byredo eye shadow palettes tend to sell out quick? Well, I’m honestly shocked that this 18-pan stunner is still available to shop. It’s the makeup equivalent to the academia-inspired Bibliothèque fragrance, and it’s just as sumptuous and dreamy.
Byredo
Les Miniatures
Why settle for one Byredo fragrance when you can snag five? Consisting of the brand’s best-sellers, this mini set makes the perfect gift for a fellow fragrancehead. Plus, you’ll only need to spend $15 more to score the limited-edition gift. Might I suggest the candle wick trimmer?
