In a world of ever-changing trends, few brands manage to carve out a unique space that feels both timeless and contemporary. Founded in 2006 by Ben Gorham, Byredo draws inspiration from his multicultural background from Sweden, to India or Canada, and personal experiences to create fragrances and everyday lifestyle products that evoke deep emotions. The name “Byredo” stems from “by redolence,” an old English term for aromatic fragrance, aptly reflecting the brand’s ethos.
Being free to explore collective memories is the name of the game for Gorham, whose journey from a professional basketball player and fine arts major to a creative force behind Byredo has shaped his distinctive, intuitive approach to design. A chance meeting with perfumer Pierre Wulff convinced him that he’d rather create fragrances than paintings. With no formal training in the field, Gorham, 31 years old, sought out the services of world-renowned perfumers Olivia Giacobetti and Jerome Epinette, explaining his olfactory desires and letting them create the compositions. As an outsider in the beauty industry, Ben is somewhat of an anomaly and has been recognized for his personal style and connection to fashion and art in several international magazines such as French Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Elle, to name a few.
Focusing on collaboration and the power of storytelling, Gorham’s creations, such as the evocative Rose of No Man’s Land and De Los Santos fragrances, bridge cultures and rituals, offering a global perspective rooted in personal legacy.

PACKING TIPS: CARRY-ON ONLY
When travelling with a carry-on only:
Only liquids, gels and aerosols in containers of 100 ml or 100 g (3.4 oz) or less are permitted.
You may be tempted to bring a 50 or 100 ml cream, serum or cleanser when travelling, but keep in mind that a maximum total of 1000 ml is allowed per person when travelling with a carry-on only. All products must therefore fit into a plastic bag with a capacity of one liter. Only one bag per person is allowed.
Powdered products such as dry shampoos, foot powders and bath salts cannot be carried in your carry-on if the quantity is equal to or greater than 350 ml (12 oz.). However, these products may be carried in your checked baggage, regardless of quantity.
ALSO WORTH NOTING:
Toiletries (including aerosols) such as hairspray, perfume, cologne or any product containing alcohol may be carried in checked baggage provided the total capacity does not exceed two liters (2L) or two kilograms (2Kg) per passenger.
What’s the BEST sunscreen? Simple: the one you’ll actually use every day!
Daily sunscreen is your skin’s best defense against brown spots, wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. As many of you know, it’s much easier to prevent damage than to correct it later.
☀️ Sun protection isn’t just for summer. UV rays are just as harmful in the winter as they are in the summer. Whether you’re hitting the ski slopes or lounging on the beach, your skin needs protection all year round.
Feeling convinced? We thought so 😉 Now it’s just a matter of finding the texture and format that fit your lifestyle. No need to stick to just one—most people switch it up depending on the day, the activity, or even the season.

A glimpse into how BDK Parfums captures Paris through the vibrant soul of the rose.
Few flowers capture the spirit of a city quite like the rose does for Paris. In Impadia, master perfumer Jordi Fernández brings this symbolism to life through a bold, dual-rose composition that mirrors the city’s multifaceted beauty.
In this interview, Fernández shares the inspiration behind Impadia, his deep connection to the queen of flowers, and how he translated the romance of a Parisian sunrise into scent.
Perfumer Jordi Fernández for BDK Parfums
THE INTERVIEW
How does the rose express the beauty and vibrant energy of Paris?
“The rose is a raw material with a unique olfactory richness. There are several varieties within the Damascena botanical species, such as those grown in Bulgaria and Turkey. Depending on the extraction method used, either essential oil or absolute is obtained, each offering a variety of facets. Bulgarian rose oil Orpur™* is fresh, slightly spicy and highly diffusive. Conversely, Turkish rose absolute Orpur™ reveals richer, warmer notes, with hints of honey and a touch of cocoa. This combination at the very heart of IMPADIA celebrates the multiple dimensions of beauty, from delicate freshness to enchanting depth, creating a complete and nuanced olfactory experience. The fragrance’s other ingredients enhance the queen of flowers, reinforcing its complexity and richness. Together, they allow the fragrance to resonate with the myriad ways in which beauty can be experienced, and celebrate its multi-faceted nature in a truly captivating way.”
What is your relationship with the queen of flowers?
“The rose has always been the cornerstone of my career as a perfumer and a key ingredient in perfumery in the Middle East region, where I have gained much of my experience. My various interpretations of the rose have allowed me to explore its cultural richness and diverse olfactory profiles. Even today, I continue to discover new dimensions in its enchanting fragrance.”
Why did you use two different roses at the heart of Impadia?
“Turkish and Bulgarian roses belong to the same species, the damascena rose, each with very distinct olfactory specificities due to the different extraction methods used. Bulgarian rose essence Orpur™ has fresh, metallic and green notes, with a hint of spiciness that conveys the vibrant side of the flower. Turkish rose absolute Orpur™ reveals a warmer profile, characterised by rich honey notes and subtle cocoa nuances. When blended, this creates a harmonious balance that highlights the unique qualities of each rose.”
Sunrise and sunset are characterized by gradations of colour from pink to orange. How did you translate these nuances into scent?
“Mandarin integral Orpur™ has fresh, juicy citrus notes that bring a sense of happiness and vibrancy. Combined with rose, it captures the soft rosy hues that evoke the gradation of colours at sunrise. Notes of bergamot enhance the luminosity, while the warm, sweet undertones of vanilla represent the golden warmth of the sun at the end of the day.”
*The Orpur™ collection brings together the best qualities of natural raw materials from the Givaudan palette. Individually selected with the greatest care, these ingredients are true “grands crus”.
Impadia EDP by BDK Parfums is available online at Etiket.ca and in stores.
April is Rosacea Awareness Month, a time to bring attention to the millions living with sensitive, redness-prone skin. If you are navigating rosacea, finding the right skincare can make all the difference. We’re shining a spotlight on rosacea and sharing our gentle, effective options designed to soothe, calm, and support your skin, every step of the way.
WHAT IS ROSACEA? + TIPS TO MANAGE SYMPTOMS
Rosacea is a skin condition characterized by redness on the face, small dilated blood vessels, pustules and swelling. Rosacea affects all ages and more than 3 million people in Canada alone. Left untreated, rosacea can worsen over time.
It is not known what causes rosacea, and there is currently no cure. There are products, however, that can help manage this condition. Here are five tips that can help you calm rosacea symptoms:
Go easy on your skin
You want to be gentle in every way with your skin. Look for calming ingredients in your skincare products and treat your skin how you would treat a baby’s. Quick tip: use lukewarm water when you wash your face – not too cold, not too hot.
Keep your skincare routine simple
Stick to the basics. The last thing you want to do is overwhelm rosacea-prone skin by mixing a long list of ingredients that will just do more harm then good.
Test skincare and makeup products before applying them to your face
If you’ve never tried a product or it seems that everything you apply to your face stings, testing can help. To test a product, dab a small amount near (but not on) your rosacea-prone skin. If it irritates your skin (burning, stinging, etc.) within 72 hours, you know not to use it.
Use sunscreen daily
The sun can worsen rosacea. Sun exposure is actually one of the most frequent causes of a rosacea flare-up. Even people with dark skin can have a rosacea flare-up after being outdoors in the sun. For that reason, we strongly recommend wearing sunscreen every single day to protect your skin from UV rays, but also to prevent a rosacea flare-up.
Avoid common food and beverage triggers
While alcohol is not responsible for the onset of rosacea, it has been identified as an aggravating factor, particularly red wine. But it’s not the only one: caffeine and spicy foods are among the most common triggers of the disease.
Your doctor knows best
If untreated, rosacea can worsen and/or become very uncomfortable to live with. We recommend visiting a doctor to receive a proper diagnosis and for the appropriate treatment to be prescribed.
CONTROL REDNESS WITH SUITABLE SKINCARE
Cleansers
Cleansers are a must in a daily skincare routine. However, certain cleansers can be harsh and stripping on the skin, which can cause rosacea to flare up. When selecting a cleanser, it is important to find one with soothing ingredients, free of alcohol and harsh irritants such as physical exfoliants. Also, make sure you wash your face with warm water, not hot.
HEXAM Gentle Cleanser VIVIER
A gentle pharmaceutical-grade cleanser that helps clean and purify skin by removing dirt and oil. It contains hexamidine, a unique antimicrobial with powerful anti-redness and bacteria fighting properties.
Superkind Softening Cleanser TATA HARPER
A supremely soothing, micro-foaming cleanser that’s non-stripping and works to gently dissolve buildup and impurities.
Toners
The harsh, alcohol-based toners we once knew are a thing of the past. Today’s toners are offered in an array of formulas, designed to treat pores, excess oil and overall redness and irritation. Our toner recommendations instantly hydrate and soothe the skin from irritation, making them perfect for those unexpected flare-ups.
Phyto-Calm Flower Mist GLO SKIN BEAUTY
Get instant relief for reactive moments and parched, dry skin with this calming and cooling face mist. The soothing antioxidants cocoon and calm skin, settling any irritations or skin stress.
Refreshing Toner VIVIER
This gentle, alcohol-free medical grade toner provides rejuvenating properties with the benefits of antioxidants to recondition the skin and helps restore its protective pH balance.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C serums are formulated with powerful antioxidants designed to protect the skin against environmental aggressors and to brighten the complexion. Studies have even shown that they help counter inflammation in the skin, making them ideal for those with rosacea. As always, we recommend you talk with your dermatologist or skincare specialist before incorporating a vitamin C serum into your routine.
Serum 10 VIVIER
Formulated with pharmaceutical-grade vitamin C, this oil-free serum is ideal for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. It helps reduce signs of environmental damage such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture and tone.
The Serum AUGUSTINUS BADER
A fast-absorbing concentrate with vitamin C and resveratrol designed to support total complexion correction, hydration and renewal. It balances and calms stressed, overly reactive skin and helps to reduce redness.
Targeted Treatments
In addition to using calming products, there are a few targeted treatments on the market that aim to correct redness in the skin. These products are formulated with specific ingredients to prevent and correct redness associated with rosacea. We recommend you use them after cleansing and toning, before applying your moisturizer and suncreen.
This product helps calm and soothe redness, inflammation, irritation and bacteria present in rosacea-prone skin or irritated skin following aesthetic procedures.
Moisturizers
Dehydrated skin can lead to irritation, which can trigger rosacea. The right moisturizer can help keep rosacea flare-ups at bay. People who have rosacea-prone skin are often prone to dry, itchy skin which causes redness to occur. The right moisturizer will provide ample hydration, all while soothing the skin from irritation.
A daily cream for sensitive skin, formulated to moisturize, regenerate skin and protect it from the elements. A great option following an aesthetic treatment or if you have red or rosacea-prone skin.
Masks
Masks can provide instant relief, as well as long-term benefits to the skin. These two masks are deeply hydrating and are formulated with ingredients that effectively reduce visual redness, discomfort and heat.
This mask has been clinically tested post-procedure to effectively reduce visual redness, discomfort, and heat. It contains pure active botanicals, calming dipeptide and hyaluronic acid.
Sun Protection
Sunscreen is a must in a skincare routine to prevent skin cancer, early signs of ageing and hyperpigmentation. It is especially important for people who suffer from rosacea, as sun exposure is a top trigger for rosacea flare-ups. Our recommendations not only protect, but they also soothe and calm the skin.

A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER
“NUORI is turning 10! Can you believe it? We came to this world in 2015, the first ever professionally formulated skincare brand to harness the power of freshly-blended, 100% natural formulas. This collection represents the evolution of our brand and our commitment to offering products that deliver visible results while maintaining our philosophy of freshness, purity, and sustainability.” – Jasmi Bonnén, NUORI Founder
Saffron is one of the world’s oldest and most precious aromatic materials, used for over 3,000 years in dyes, medicine, and ritual. In perfumery, saffron brings a warm, leathery, and slightly metallic scent unlike any other. Its eye-watering price is due in part to how it’s harvested: each tiny, crimson stamen of the Crocus sativus flower must be picked by hand.
For their newest parfum extrait, Maison Crivelli invites us to explore this fascinating note as only they can; through a surprising encounter with a saffron field drenched in fog. Safran Secret is the first in a new series of the brand’s Olfactory Mysteries – and is as evocative as it is addictive.
Read on to explore this exciting new scent, as well as a few of our other favourite saffron fragrances.
NEW RELEASE: A NEW KIND OF SAFFRON
SAFRAN SECRET Maison Crivelli
“Perfume is all the more beautiful when there is a touch of mystery.”
A deep, sensual composition, contrasting the brightness of comforting saffron with a warm fog of highly-diffusive woods.
THE SPICE JAR: OTHER SAFFRON FAVOURITES
CRYSTAL SAFFRON Matiere Premiere
Showcasing a rare Greek saffron oil, this perfume spotlights the sparkling, elusively edible facets of the note in a minimalist composition anchored with Somalian incense and white musk.
AMBRE PAPIER Atelier Materi
Saffron is particularly magical when paired with resins. In Ambre Papier, it electrifies the formula’s top-shelf benzoin resin into a luscious dance of texture and warmth.
FACES OF FRANCIS Vilhelm Parfumerie
Evoking Expressionist painter Francis Bacon’s memories of Tangier, saffron and grilled pistachio are an oddly delicious pairing in this highly original woody gourmand.
