UPDATE (January 19, 2020 11 a.m. ET): The demand for Travis Scott and Byredo‘s collaborative collection, Space Rage, is so high that the brand is issuing a limited restock on January 19 at 12 p.m. ET.
The first batch of candles and fragrances sold out in a mere three hours, and the brand expects the restock to sell out just as quickly, according to a Byredo press release. You can find both Space Rage products for $95 to $285 for 3.4 ounces, respectively, at shop.travisscott.com and byredo.com.

The year 2020 has brought us more than a few strange and unexpected beauty collaborations: Kylie Cosmetics and Dr. Seuss, HipDot and hot sauce brand Tapatío, Morphe and Lisa Frank… if anything, this year had proven that when it comes to these partnerships, truly anything is possible. Case in point: the collection by Byredo and Travis Scott that dropped, seemingly out of nowhere, on November 30.
The collaboration between the rapper and brand is a scent called Space Rage, available in candle ($95) format and a 3.4-ounce eau de parfum ($285). Both are encased in royal blue glass that fades to an orchid purple near the bottom and feature Scott’s immediately recognizable handwriting. And if you thought a partnership between a luxury fragrance company and a rap superstar was already a little out there, wait until you hear its lineup of top, heart, and base notes.
According to a press release from Byredo, the top notes of Space Rage are cosmic dust and antimatter particles, followed by heart notes of starlight and “the scent of supernova.” Base notes atmospheric vapor and dark nebulae round the whole thing out. Now, I don’t know about you, but I don’t spend too much time in outer space, so I’m completely damn clueless as to what this fragrance and candle might actually smell like. Based on what some astronauts have described in the past, I can only assume it’s something along the lines of raspberries and burning metal — something sweet and metallic.
