La Tulipe by Byredo is a floral composition with clean lines, bright character and a distinctly modern spirit. Released in 2010 and created by Jérôme Epinette and Ben Gorham, this 100 ml Eau de Parfum is designed for all genders and explores the sensation of freshly cut flowers with remarkable clarity. It feels polished yet vivid, making it an elegant choice for anyone drawn to floral fragrances that are refined, crisp and quietly expressive.
The opening blends cyclamen, freesia and rhubarb, creating a start that feels airy, luminous and slightly green. There is a fresh-cut quality from the very beginning, as if stems had just been placed in cool water. The rhubarb introduces a subtle crispness that keeps the floral notes sharp and contemporary, while cyclamen and freesia bring softness and light. At the heart, tulip takes center stage. Rather than feeling lush or dramatic, it is rendered in a restrained, graceful way that highlights its smooth, delicate and modern floral profile.
Blonde woods and vetiver shape the drydown with understated structure and balance. The result is a base that feels soft, gently dry and elegant, allowing the floral character to linger without becoming heavy. This gives La Tulipe a composed, effortless trail that suits daytime wear beautifully and works especially well in clean, urban settings or whenever a fragrance with brightness and poise is desired. It is a floral perfume that captures freshness, space and simplicity with sophistication, reflecting Byredo’s unmistakable minimalist aesthetic.
