Sweden's finest fragrances in a popular shopping district

Word to the wise: If you find some goods that you can't live without, but don't want to lug home, buy from the webshop; they ship to the EU and the United States.

Byredo is celebrated around the world for its timeless fragrances, body products and scented candles. The company, founded in 2006 by half-Swedish, half-Canadian Ben Gorham, has a distinct focus on craftsmanship and all of its products are made in Sweden.

The boutique near the centere of town on Mäster Samuelsgatan resembles an old apothecary and oozes sophisticated luxury. In relative peace, you can test many different perfumes which were inspired by the founder's travels and multicultural background.
