Initially, there's a slight citrusy note, but as time passes, it evolves into a gentle vanilla and woody scent that subtly reminds me of clean skin. It's perfect as a daily perfume and works well regardless of gender! Also, I appreciate that the cap closes magnetically, which is quite convenient.
ConsCompared to other niche fragrances, I found the longevity of the scent to be somewhat lacking, which was a bit disappointing.
TipIf you spray it on the inside of your wrist, you might think the scent disappears quickly if you wash your hands often. I found that applying it to the opposite side of the wrist made the fragrance last a bit longer!

At the top, there's a lemony scent, but it's not purely citrusy - it has a spicy lemon aroma. In the middle notes, you get a hint of cool pine. Finally, it settles into a vanilla and sandalwood finish. Unlike Tom Ford Oud Wood, the lingering scent is sweetish, so I think it won't be as polarizing.
ConsGypsy Water is often criticized for its longevity and sillage. To be honest, the only way to improve its staying power and projection might be to decant it into a travel bottle and reapply frequently.

The overall balance from top to base notes is exceptional. When first applied, there's a subtle pine needle scent with a hint of citrus, which gracefully fades away. As time passes, a wonderfully cozy and warm woody vanilla aroma emerges. The lingering scent is a perfectly restrained woody note with a touch of sweet vanilla. I was so enamored with the dry-down that I spent the whole day sniffing my wrist!
ConsBeing my favorite fragrance, it's hard to find fault. However, if I had to nitpick, the scent is quite warm, which makes it less suitable for use during late spring to summer when the weather is hot.
TipWhile this isn't a fragrance with weak longevity, perception of lasting power can vary from person to person. If you find the scent doesn't last long enough, try applying an unscented body emulsion or petroleum jelly before spraying. This can help extend the fragrance's longevity.

The scent is a toned-down blend of lemon and vanilla, with more emphasis on the vanilla. It's indeed a sweet fragrance, and the lingering vanilla note is particularly delightful.
ConsBeing a perfume, it starts with a strong alcohol scent that can be harsh on the nose, even causing sneezing. This was also the case with Blanche. Another issue with both Gypsy Water and Blanche is their artificial scent, which seems to irritate the nose. For reference, Black Saffron doesn't cause this discomfort. That's why I was torn between Black Saffron and Gypsy Water when making my purchase. I chose Gypsy Water as my first Byredo fragrance since it's one of their bestsellers. Next time, I'm definitely going for Black Saffron.
TipEau de toilettes are gentler on the nose in the early to mid stages, with a softer initial scent and earlier emergence of pleasant lingering notes. However, they lack in longevity and sillage. Eau de parfums, while initially stronger and less suitable for daily wear, have longer-lasting notes. Byredo seems to have found a good balance. Despite being perfumes, their scents generally feel light, making them great for everyday use. Initially, I was disappointed due to high expectations, but after a month of use, I find myself reaching for Byredo more than other fragrances. The best part is that they work well as comfortable, light daily fragrances. This is the signature characteristic of Byredo perfumes.
