  Pros

  This is my first Byredo fragrance, and it's perfect for summer. The lingering vanilla note in the dry-down is absolutely delightful.

  Cons

  After trying many perfumes, this one feels a bit light, lacking the depth I've come to appreciate.

  Pros

  A vanilla woody scent with an urban twist? It's quite unisex and feels more suited for casual wear

  Cons

  Some people around me said it's masculine, but I'm not really sure about that

  Pros

  When you first spray it, you might find the scent a bit strong, but I was really satisfied with the lingering fragrance - it's absolutely delightful. 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.

  Cons

  Compared to other niche fragrances, I found the longevity of the scent to be somewhat lacking, which was a bit disappointing.

  Tip

  If 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!

  The perfect winter fragrance. The vanilla and woody notes are absolutely divine.

  Cons

  The price tag is jaw-dropping. You might need to save up for this one, but it's worth considering.

  Pros

  Absolutely in love with this! When I first sprayed it, there was a subtle woody scent and a slightly ambiguous fragrance that made me go '???'. But the lingering scent is incredible! It's described as having vanilla notes, but it's definitely not that cloying sweetness. Instead, it's a warm, sweet aroma that makes me want to keep sniffing where I've sprayed it. While I haven't sampled a vast array of perfumes, this is hands down my favorite scent I've experienced so far.

  Cons

  I wish I could wear this all year round, but since it's such a warm fragrance, it's a shame I can't use it in summer.

  Pros

  My signature scent for life! The vanilla notes and powdery feel are absolutely divine.

  Cons

  While it's a niche fragrance and falls into the luxury category, making price discussions somewhat moot, it's undeniably expensive.

  Tip

  It's remarkably similar to The Saem Urban Breeze Vintage Water, about 98% alike. The main difference lies in the depth of the lemon notes.

  Pros

  The warm vanilla scent, perfect for fall and winter, is the most prominent note, with a woody undertone emerging at the end. Let me share the detailed description: A smoky and playful fragrance Top notes of bergamot, lemon, and pepper Middle notes of incense, pine, and iris Base notes of amber, vanilla, and sandalwood It has a unisex appeal and would pair wonderfully with cozy knitwear! The price is a bit steep though, haha. Paying full price might be a bit... well... I'd recommend picking it up at duty-free if you can.

  Cons

  Being an eau de parfum, I expected the scent to be intense and long-lasting, but that's not the case. I thought the longevity might be poor, but it seems the scent itself is just subtle. The fragrance doesn't really diffuse into the air, so you won't get that strong projection. However, it clings closely to the skin, and when I take a whiff, it blends beautifully with my natural body scent, which I find absolutely delightful! I wouldn't recommend this to anyone looking for a fragrance that makes a bold statement.

  Pros

  This Byredo fragrance is my introduction to the brand and my absolute favorite. 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!

  Cons

  Being 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.

  Tip

  While 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.

  Pros

  This is my signature scent for life. When I went for a fragrance test, Blanche was recommended. I initially thought it was a bit masculine, but the lingering notes felt quite feminine. After reading other reviews, I think it's due to the vanilla scent.

  Cons

  The longevity is terrible. It's basically just for personal satisfaction in the morning. Also, the price is steep. Unless you're buying it duty-free, it's hard to justify the purchase.

  Tip

  Here's a little tip: carry a small decant bottle with you and reapply throughout the day.

  Pros

  Contrary to my initial concerns, the sillage is surprisingly good. 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.

  Cons

  Being 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.

  Tip

  Eau 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.
