Byredo Slow Dance Eau de Parfum (tester without cap)

The Slow Dance is a rite of passage for girls and boys before they transition into womanhood and manhood. It embodies a mix of exhilaration and awkwardness; a rash collision between innocence and experience. The fragrance, Slow Dance, melds feminine and masculine essences, bitterness and sweetness. Here, high school clichés blend and evolve into something greater. Traditional elements, particularly resins and balms, envelop with sensuality. The nobility of the ingredients reflects the nobility of the emotions they evoke.
In this fragrance, Ben Gorham articulates an element of autobiography through scent, hoping to evoke that trembling moment before boys don the cloak of manhood. The sincerity of the moment on the brink of maturity. A time when girls and boys are not so vastly different and not so far apart, accepting each other openly and simply. This is what the slow dance ultimately celebrates.

TESTER - A tester is a demonstration version of the fragrance provided by manufacturers with a batch of products for promotional purposes at the point of sale. Please note that there are no differences (such as the quality of the fragrance, its longevity, etc.) between the tester and the retail version! The difference lies in the fact that since testers are produced for advertising purposes, the manufacturer does not pay as much attention to their packaging: they are offered in so-called technical packaging (a plain cardboard box, different from the one used for retail bottles) and often do not include a cap. This results in a lower price for testers.
