Byredo has launched yet another new fragrance, Palermo, available now at Byredo.com and Barneys.
The fragrance is inspired by Palermo, Italy
IMO this sounds like one of the better Byredo releases, along with Pulp. Anyone at Barneys give this a sniff?

Our "Palermo" opens with Bigarade and Sicilian Bergamot. The heart consists of
Fresh Musks and Rose Absolute and reveals a base of Skin Musks and Ambrette Flower.

With clacking oars the Phoenicians arrived millennia ago to found their
center of ancient exchange. Under golden Roman yoke the port gained gleaming palaces and mosaics. Ostrogoths, Vandals, and Byzantines alternately wrecked and rebuilt. Moorish and Berber emirs dug irrigation and harvested new fruits the Bergamot oranges they planted still grow. Norman kings wrested the island back from the East. Garibaldi's thousand redshirts galloped through, and Italy was born. All those centuries of interleaved layers, one bled into the other, remain palpable in the air, the water, the art, the architecture, the spirit.

Palermo 
Not my cup of tea unfortunately, I don't like the drydown.
