Bibliothèque by Byredo opens with peach and plum, warmed almost at once by cinnamon. Violet and peony sit at the centre, soft and a little powdery against the fruit. The base is where it settles: leather, patchouli, vanilla, birch wood and musk, giving it a dry, woody warmth rather than anything sugary. Launched in 2017, it suits men and women equally, and anyone who prefers a scent with some grip to it over something purely sweet. Voters wear it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening, and it holds up fine through a working day too. Most wearers settle on moderate longevity, and moderate sillage besides. A 3ml decant is enough to test whether that leather-and-fruit combination earns a place in your week.

The community verdict
Peach, plum and cinnamon give Bibliothèque a sweet opening before violet and peony lead into leather, patchouli and vanilla. Most find its wear and projection moderate. It feels cosy and sophisticated for autumn evenings, while winter and nights work too; its unusual character may not suit every taste.
