Woody, powdery, leathery, softly spicy, and musky.

Key Fragrance Notes:

Top: Cardamom, Iris, Violet
Heart: Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Papyrus
Base: Leather, Musk, Amber

Xylon opens with cardamom, iris, and violet, giving the fragrance a gently spicy start with a soft floral texture. Sandalwood, cedarwood, and papyrus form a dry woody heart, balancing smoothness with a more papery edge. Leather, musk, and amber ground the base. The composition becomes increasingly woody as it develops, but the floral opening and musky softness keep the texture rounded around the drier woods and leather beneath it.

About the Fragrance

BYZA identifies Xylon as its interpretation of Le Labo Santal 33. It takes a dry modern sandalwood direction within the inspiration collection, balancing floral softness with a more textured background. The woody focus and airy character distinguish it from the house’s sweeter sandalwood fragrances, giving Xylon a composed identity built around the contrast between smoothness and dryness.

Summary

Xylon is a dry woody-leather fragrance that pairs cardamom and powdery florals with sandalwood, cedar, papyrus, musk, and amber. Cardamom gives the opening a warm spicy lift while iris and violet add a soft powdery texture rather than overt sweetness. Sandalwood and cedarwood form the center, balancing creamy and dry woods as papyrus introduces a slightly earthy, fibrous edge. Leather darkens the drydown and gives the fragrance more structure, while musk smooths the finish and amber adds restrained warmth. It should suit shoppers who enjoy modern sandalwood fragrances but want more powder, spice, and leather than a simple creamy wood profile. The overall effect is polished, dry, and quietly substantial.
