Byredo brand
guidelines

Build imagery around atmosphere, human stories, and evocative details. Byredo’s campaign work moves between intimate people-centered scenes and carefully composed product still lifes. Maintain the tension between a quiet Nordic sensibility and expressive art direction; seasonal campaigns may use a stronger, story-specific palette and setting.

Frame fragrance as an intimate sensory experience: the bottle, its materials, and the person or moment it evokes. Product-focused images can be clean and precise; editorial images should suggest discovery, memory, and personal expression.

Emphasize care as both protection and connection: close, tactile details, softly perfumed products, and everyday rituals. Pair calm product presentation with human, sensory cues; let packaging and formula texture feel considered and luxurious.

Treat home scent as an expression of place and atmosphere. Use the elegant, minimalist candle vessel and label as a recognizable product detail; extend the scene with thoughtful interiors, light, and materiality. Byredo’s home-fragrance storytelling connects an object’s physical setting with memory and a sense of belonging.

Show makeup as colour-led, tactile self-expression. Pair jewel-like product design and soft textures with considered portraits, swatches, or editorial looks; the brand’s makeup language supports both subtle washes of colour and bold accents. Keep the image’s emotional character intentional rather than overly polished or generic.

Show gifting as personal and meaningful: considered selections, careful presentation, and objects associated with connection and lasting memories. For in-store experiences, emphasize sensory ritual, materials, atmosphere, and human attention. Keep collaboration-specific imagery within its own campaign context.
