Byredo’s Late Lunch went on sale only through the Byredo x Particular pop-up in Ibiza, making the 2026 limited-edition Eau de Parfum feel less like a standard fragrance launch and more like a collectible from a specific place. Created for Jondal in Cala Jondal, the scent was developed by perfumer Nicolas Bonneville and tied to the easy luxury of long Mediterranean lunches that stretch into sunset.

The exclusivity is the point. Late Lunch was made for Casa Jondal, the beachside restaurant opened in 2020 by chef Rafa Zafra with Ricardo Acquista, and the collaboration grew out of a longstanding friendship between Byredo and Jondal owner Rem. That local relationship gives the bottle a sharper identity than a typical seasonal release: it belongs to Ibiza, to one table, and to one retail moment set beside the restaurant itself. For a buyer looking for a gift with a story, that kind of specificity does more heavy lifting than a gold cap or a glossy campaign ever could.

Bonneville built the composition around a bright opening of orange blossom, lemon and mandarin, then moved into lentisk, rosemary salt, pink pepper and galbanum before settling into ambrox, helvetolide and cedarwood. The result reads like an olfactory postcard from the island, with citrus up top and a dry, sun-warmed base that mirrors the salt, wood and late-day heat of the Mediterranean coast. Byredo has long described scent as emotional geography, and Late Lunch fits that idea neatly by turning a meal into a memory you can wear.

The launch also carried a physical retail gesture: an adjacent space featured a Sabina-wood Alphabeta totem, giving the project an additional material link to Ibiza rather than a generic luxury showcase. That detail matters for gifting because it gives the fragrance a sense of provenance. A destination-only bottle from a restaurant with local roots, a specific perfumer, and a design object tied to native wood is the sort of present that feels discovered rather than simply purchased, which is exactly why place-based drops have become so compelling for affluent shoppers.
