Swedish luxury fragrance house Byredo’s only standalone boutique in Singapore has a new look.
The signature clean lines and use of stone and brushed metal remain, but the Scandinavian-chic space is less intimidating than before.
A striking green lacquered wall at the counter adds warmth – intended as a nod to Singapore’s City in a Garden reputation – while the brand’s star fragrances (from $91) are displayed front and centre for a more inviting shopping experience.
