Byredo’s 2026 Holiday Collection Brings Dalarna-Inspired Scents and Nordic Details

Byredo’s 2026 holiday collection, A Midwinter’s Tale, gives its pared-back aesthetic a distinctly seasonal setting: Dalarna, a region in central Sweden. Its guiding idea is julmys, a sense of warmth, ease and togetherness during the stillness of winter. The collection moves between fragrance, body care, makeup and home décor, with details that make the theme tangible: a wooden candle lid, a nesting ornament set and shades inspired by the northern lights.

The strongest thread is atmosphere. Rather than relying on one signature holiday note, the lineup spans fresh greenery, fruit, woods, florals and the familiar, bookish character of Bibliothèque. That range makes the collection feel suited to different kinds of seasonal rituals, from lighting a candle during a quiet evening to assembling a more considered host gift.

Scents for home and hair

Byredo Cloudberry is built around a fresh, soft impression of the Nordic countryside. Lavender and rose meet green mint and ivy, followed by fruity cloudberry. The full-size candle comes in a seasonal-patterned jar with a wooden lid; its fragrance profile reads light and leafy before it turns fruitier. It’s a natural pick for an unhurried evening ritual or a room that calls for a gentler scent.

Byredo Les Cheveux Blanche combines a bottle of Blanche hair perfume with a wooden hairbrush. Blanche’s warm floral composition brings together aldehydes, rose, violet, musk and sandalwood. The pairing turns a familiar fragrance into a gift with a practical styling accessory, while the hair perfume offers a way to carry the scent beyond the vanity.

Byredo Les Miniatures Maison gathers five small scented candles: Burning Rose, Bibliothèque, Summer Rain, Cotton Poplin and Winter Cabin. The selection works as a host gift because it offers several distinct home-fragrance moods in one set. Winter Cabin is a personal favorite from the lineup; the variety also makes the set a useful way to choose a preferred scent before committing to a larger candle.

Byredo La Collection Bibliothèque packages the fragrance as a candle, room spray and incense stick. Bibliothèque takes its name from the French word for library, and its notes of plum, cinnamon, leather, violet, birch woods and vanilla create a warm, layered impression. The combination suggests old paper and faded ink, giving this set a more enveloping profile than the fresher Cloudberry. For fans of the scent, having it in three formats makes it easy to shape the atmosphere of a room in different ways.

Color, care and a considered gift set

Byredo Borealis Eyeshadow Palette takes its cue from the aurora borealis. The limited-edition palette brings soft pastels together with shimmering hues and muted natural colors, translating the changing tones of the northern lights into wearable color options. Pairing a softer shade with a shimmer offers one way to bring the celestial reference into a look while keeping the effect understated.

Byredo Les Mains Yuzu Tree includes Yuzu Tree Hand Wash and matching hand lotion, plus a soft hand towel. Its citrus opening combines Italian mandarin and yuzu; ginger adds spice, while patchouli gives the scent a warmer finish. Though it isn’t an obvious winter fragrance, that contrast is part of its appeal: the bright citrus can bring a fresher note to a seasonal gift set. The matching products and towel make the presentation feel complete for a guest bathroom or a host gift.

Byredo Le Corps Bal d’Afrique pairs Bal d’Afrique Body Wash and Lotion with a limited-edition wooden body brush. The fragrance blends African marigold and bergamot with blackcurrant, jasmine, violet, cedarwood and tonka bean, balancing floral and fruity notes with a woody finish. The brush can be used before showering as part of a dry-brushing routine; the set’s appeal rests on combining coordinated body care with a tactile accessory.

Objects with a winter story

Byredo Wooden Tree Ornaments Set brings the collection’s Nordic reference into the home. Made from raw okoumé wood, the three spheres nest inside one another, with a wooden goat at the center. The ornament set draws on Nordic patterns and traditional seasonal details, offering a lasting decorative piece alongside the collection’s candles and fragrances.

Byredo Advent Calendar contains 25 products in mini and full-size formats across fragrance, makeup, home and body care. Each item is revealed one day at a time from a patterned box. At close to $1,000, it’s the collection’s biggest commitment, with its appeal tied to the breadth of categories and the daily reveal. For shoppers choosing one piece rather than the full assortment, the collection’s clearest expressions of julmys are the home fragrances and the small wooden details: tactile, atmospheric and easy to bring into a winter routine.
