I really wish Byredo would do sample sizes for purchase. It’s so hard to drop money like that on a bottle without wearing it a few times and seeing how it works with your skin. Even MFK has a $25 sample kit where you can choose 4 scents to try.

From what I just read L’Oréal didn’t buy Byredo, a Spanish fashion & perfume company called Puig bought it, I love gypsy water, Bal d’ Afrique, Blanche, pulp, Mojave ghost and sundazed!

You have the best descriptions! The dated black eyeliner wearing voodoo guy and the smoker who dropped his leather jacket in the juniper forest! I swear I can smell it!!

anne, i just love all your videos, your honesty is so appreciated. ty

Puig bought Byredo, not L’Oréal. There was a media leak saying it was going to be L’Oréal however it ended up being Puig in the end. Hopefully, they won’t change too much. They own Penhaligon’s, L’artisan Parfumer, and CDG fragrances. Hopefully they have more integrity than L’Oréal.

i’m so happy i found your channel! we love the same perfumes and i’m so going to try your other recommendations

Thank you for your honest videos na sharing your own personal perceptions in fragrancies! It’s important to hear people’s opinion, expertise that we can all, at least listen, and then compare to our own. At the end of the day, fragrancies are something that’s part of our own DNA… it has to do with each person’s skin, history, biological smell, mood, with seasons we are in, and many more… that’s so much more complex than we can think of! So, my advice here is, listen reviews because it’s important to listen to but most important is that at the end of the day, choose scents that you truly like and love it! And remember, there is something very instinctively built on us as part of our self preservation, that is to trust in your I sting and in what you like (specially when it comes to perfume) because if you don’t like a certain fragrance, it’s because it probably does not smell so good in your skin. But it can smell really good in some else’s skin, and that’s probably that person loves it.❤️

Absolutely! Agree 100%! 🤍

I love your honest review. I also am curious about the other scents from this house because I’ve only tried three that came from a set with 3 different scents in 11ml bottles, and so far nothing really impressed and stood out to me. Maybe because I prefer stronger scents as a male and those three scents (Blanche, Gypsy Water, and Bald’afrique) that I’ve tried leans more feminine. That’s just my opinion. Great video!

People often conflate longevity with sillage. Gypsy Water sits a little closer to the skin, but it stays on the skin for a long time. I applied a small amount last night (with one of those terrible stick applicators no less), slept, cooked, washed dishes, went about my day, and still smell that spot on my wrist this afternoon.

Yes!!!!! House reviews are my favorites. Can you please do a house review on Killian. I'm so curious about some of they're fragrances. Thanks you.🥰😘🥰

Thank you for this I’ve been going back and forth with gypsy water and Bal d'Afrique I will definitely go for the purchase

I initially loved my Mojave Ghost but after awhile it just got annoying and synthetic smelling; so it went the way all my unwanted perfumes go-gifts. I still love my Rose of No Man’s Land - I like the white amber dry down which elevates it above a designer. I’d love a bottle of Vanille Antique!

Your reviews were great and honest. Subscribed now.

Years ago I smelled rose of no man's land and always had in the back of my mind the intention to buy it. Finally got it! Love the bottle and scent. Sales person gave me 4 samples of other Byredo scents plus 2 samples of Kilian. Looking forward to trying them out and maybe buying a bottle way down the road cause these high end fragrances are a rare treat to myself.

Others will buy the expensive bottle, decant & sell some of it to cut their costs. ***** Also - I cracked up at your description of a “circling Byredo like a nervous, nailbiting vulture” 🤣🤣🤣 Not enough people appreciate gems like this!

Im starting to really appreciate Byredo! They are interesting and not synthetic smelling. I'm wanting to try Mohave Ghost but the reviews sound very similar to some of their other perfumes. I have 2 samples of Bal D Afrique and they smell slightly different, especially the dry down. Im wondering, do you find different batches to vary slightly in smell? I got a small sample of Lil Fleur and was suprised! It's very pleasant and I didn't notice a heavy rose scent on my skin. I do not like rose dominant perfumes, either. I love Delina Exclusif but have to be in the mood for it 😂 I didn't like B'al D Afrique but now I absolutely am on the hunt for a big girl bottle..i think its the Cedar and wood in it that make it addictive

Thank you for this review!! I do agree with the review on Blanche. Literally just bubbles from soap lather kinda vibes, lol. Also, I got Bal D’afrique and was surprised at how bright it smelt. Really can smell the acidity from all of the listed top notes combined, and wish there was some sandalwood to help round out the perfume and make it less harsh from the acidity!

YES! Mojave Ghost smells like some dry shampoo I have. Cant wear it as a fragrance. Also Sundazed smells like that pink sugar perfume from the early 2000s to me lol

I smelt young rose today and I really love it! im curious on rose of no mans land, I wish i tried that one too. What are the differences between those two?

I have Bal d'Afrique and love it but I really adore Sundazed. It smells stunning on my skin (or hubby's), evokes hot summery Italian lemon groves/sweet limoncello liqueur to me. Want to try Oud Immortel & Vanille Antique, Tobacco Mandarin, Eleventh Hour & Sellier. Smelled them briefly in store but need to get samples I think as I need to test the middle/base notes more😋

Gipsy Water my favourite!!!! Love it sooo much!

I hate all the scents you love lol so I was shocked when you said you love Sellier because I LOVE IT SO MUCH that I get concerned about running out. It is the most well done leather my nose has ever laid its nostrils on 😂. You described it so perfectly! It also smells expensive

Mixed Emotions is my aspiration purchase, I love it so much, think about it most days and sometimes go to the shops just to spray it on me 😁 but, for context, I'm a very terracotta-brown-olive coloursheme of person. Very muted and mid-toned, and my fragrance preferences often reflect that as well

Oh my god, I got 5 samples of Byredo and they are exactly as you described. ❤❤❤ They all smelled so nice in the store but felt different after a while. Bal D'Afrique and Gypsy Water are so nice and subtle. I ended up buying those. Mixed Emotions has 2 distinct notes: sweet and smoky. Not too bad, but I would get a headache from smelling smoke for too long. Mojave Ghost: fruity smell, a bit boring Blanche: quite sharp, exactly like my house's toilet gel stamp.

I just ordered a few samples of byredo to try but my favorite so far is discontinued 😭 ~ Seven Veils ~ Do you know of anything that smells similar? Also, a le labo review like this one would be amazing, especially if you did a city exclusive one as well. Paris Vanille 44 is an obsession and $500 a bottle!

I kept thinking about what the scent Bal d Afrique reminds me of and I can't help but it reminds me a lot of Cacharel Noa, but it's less sweet, more clean and less intense. But it smells very similar, at least to my nose...

Perfect the only one that sounds like the one I would want is the most expensive - yeah girl that's also a no from me as in Canadian dollars its a cool 429 I could never. I think one day I may try gypsy water but thank you for being so thorough I can see Byredo may not be for me.

Its funny to me how everyones nose /brain is different, and our chemistry… its the mystery magic sauce in fragrance to me that makes them so unique. I really love Mojave Ghost- just have a sample but I was craving it during the recent heat wave we had, triple digits… i guess i was craving it in the heat bc of it’s lightness, it reminds me of those Aloe drinks, like a juicy wet sweetness, fruity but not a super sweet fruit, more like a pear, or even some juicy veg like cactus/jicama, cucumber…. Cactus pear… starfruit… that sort of vibe to me. Which is exactly what I want in the hottest heat. Also, I work around food a lot, I was catering the day I wore it recently, so I wanted something pleasant that wouldn’t be too strong to bother or interfere with anyone else’s experience with their food, again it was brutally hot, i think its great for super hot weather, for work, food industry… summer…. 🤷‍♀️ yeah I find it super refreshing. I just wish it lasted a bit longer but i dont think its a bad thing when a frag becomes a skin scent :) 🤷‍♀️ anyway maybe its not the most “WOW” fragrance or complex, but I really love its sort of refreshing simplicity, think there’s definitely a time & place for that. 😉

thank you!! I haven't but I definitely plan to!

I'm just starting to explore the house of Byredo, and from the start honed in to two fragrances: Bal d'Afrique and Pulp. I found those two to be fantastic so I bought two full bottles. Bal d'Afrique was my #1 till I tried Pulp and so now they are essentially tied for my best-of-house. I waited for a year to pull the trigger on a Bal d'Afrique purchase because it leans feminine (and I'm a dude). But in the end I reasoned that the scent profile is just too beautiful to pass up, and even though it leans a tad feminine, its significantly unisex. I think Pulp is a masterpiece. I just received the full bottle and it's now my new holy grail frag of the fruity genre. It's an unbelievably photorealistic, intense, tart, tangy, sweet wearable piece of art. Talk about not being able to stop smelling my wrist. Before smelling for the first time I thought I would find it artistic, but the question was wearability. I found it surprisingly wearable, hence the elevation into the masterpiece designation. And of course very artistic. Now, the fruit, although pulpy and succulent, can be characterized as over ripe. Some describe it as fruit pulp that's been in the garbage for a day, and I get that. But it still works for me, and is as pleasant as it is artsy. The only other fragrance with such a unique over ripe fruit characteristic that I can recall offhand is the classic Dior Diorella from 1973 - the feminine-targeted companion to the classic Eau Sauvage EDT. Very different fragrances that share that characteristic. I have a decant of Gypsy Water, test wore it, and concluded the same as those who say it's a mediocre scent profile that doesn't perform. But I'll need to wear it more. Biblioteque is on my radar, and I love plum notes. The others I have that HAVE a plum/leather combo are MDCI Chypre Palatin and Michael for Men by Michael Kors (2001), and I love both. The Michael Kors feature plum and suede leather notes fairly prominently and its fantastic. Chypre Palatin has so much else going on that it's way beyond a plum/leather accord. I guess it depends. I've subscribed to your Chanel. Your descriptions are very articulate.
