I Bought These 6 Byredo Fragrances, So You Don't Have To | Buying Guide Cologne/Perfume Review 2023 

Here in Japan Byredo Blanche and Lazy Sunday Morning are both actually insanely huge. I noticed that Japanese people tend to lean towards florals and laundry detergent, soapy scents and stay away from fragrances with harsh openings or very strong overpowering fragrances in general. I personally like sweet and musky scents but growing up in the Philippines, most men, my father included, tended to lean towards more of the classic masculine DNA like Ralph Lauren, etc(I think Chanel Egoiste Platinum is the closest in terms of scent profile to what my dad used to wear all the time). It’s so interesting how the preferred fragrances differ in every country. Especially here in Japan where “smell harassment” is an actual thing.😂

I love when you do these buying guide videos. Much appreciation to you. As far as this house, I want to try Bal d’Afrique, Gypsy Water, and Mojave Ghost. Bibliotheque sounds interesting too.

Bal d'afrique is one of the greatest smells ive ever had the pleasure to smell. Its a jaw dropper.

I actually was waiting for you to post something about byredo ! Great video , it was really informative, thank you

Thank you for this video, I am getting my discovery set this week!

Great to see an overall really good rating on most of their fragrances! A friend recommended Bal d'afrique to me and that's how I got suckered in to the line. No regrets. I'm generally not a lover of clean soapy scents on myself because they usually give me a headache but, the citrus notes in here and the base notes really ground it for me and it's lovely! Inoffensive as well. I have rose of no man's land in hair perfume form but, its such a balanced rose scent. I'm really enjoying it for the spring/summer time. Then you mentioned MFK's a la rose which I also adore. It is def much brighter and cleaner of a rose. I guess, like you said, a greener tone. I figured only recently, I am a sucker for rose scents. 😊 Diptique's rose is also quite nice. Right on point with comparing to Le labo! I also prefer Byredo over Le Labo. It seems more special, kind on the nose, and is a brand that does not try too hard in terms of notes. It just melds well.

I need to try this house. My favorites to try are Extrait collection (Tobacco Mandarin, Vanilla Antique and Rouge Chaotique) but Bal D’Afrique, Mojave Ghost and Rose of No Man’s Land sound great too.

I love this line. Byredo has beautiful fragrances. No Man's Land is my favorite. You give a very good review of fragrances. I throughly enjoyed it.

Love the channel bro! I wish you tested the Black Saffron too. My favorite out of the house personally.

Thank you for the discovery

Wow thank for this.. i just ordered a discovery set and its so funny because i wanted to try mojave ghost and u said it smells kinda like D&G the one which is like my fave lol

Great intro into Byredo 👌... Still waiting for the Initio fragrances review, would love to hear your thoughts on the brand!

Tobacco Mandarin, Vanille Antique & Mixed Emotions are AWESOME! 🔥🔥🔥

So Omar, I'm here on my bed watching your videos and I feel so chilled and relaxed. Your better than lavander (which as you know is good before sleeping)

Bibliotheque smells like a very popular import store from the 1990's, 'Pier One Imports'. The store was filled with scented candles, rattan furniture and cheap leather ottomans and handbags. The combined fragrance was distinctive and addictive. One sniff of Bibliotheque took me back in time to shopping with my mom and auntie at Pier One.

I love Bal d'afrique. I can't even explain what do I like about it. It's nothing like I've ever smelled. It's just amazing

I actually did compare both Byredo and Le Labo, I do have a love hate relationship with Le Labo The Noir 29. While walking around Liberty in London, I came across Byredo and went straight to try Rose of No Man’s Land because I love roses. It felt as it was love at first sight hence I went straight to that. But after a few weeks, I ended up getting The Noir 29 too. 😂

Got 4 of byredo fragrances and here are my ratings of them 1. Gypsy water (but terrible longevity) 2. Black saffron 3. Mister marvelous 4. Rose of no man's land Looking forward for bal d'afrique and mojave ghost for the next purchase

My first scent was Gypsy water, absolutely stunning. And now I just purchased Bal d'afrique bec it has popular good reviews, I was a bit disappointed by the smell 😅. I'd go back to Gypsy water after I finish this bottle 😭.

Although over priced Rene de nuit is excellent and well balaced it has excellent longevity. Im a bartender and this plays brilliantly with the night life.

My day wear flips between Bal D'Afrique if I'm wearing something bright and Rose of No Man's land when I'm a bit more styled or wearing darker/green clothes. My night wear jumps between Black Saffron for warm months, then Sellier for colder months. But yeah i don't like to project too much, just enough for someone close to me to get a whiff, without overbearing. I would like to add MFK Grand Soir (gorgeous smell) to add to my nightly rotation and Le Labo Matcha 26/another 13 for the daily.

I’ve only tried Bal D’Afrique but to keep its longevity this is what I do once I shower and lotion my body (non scent) spray it on the lotion keeps it only your skin longer and also do 1 spray on your clothing it last all day

I like Super Cedar from Byredo. But I find this brand overpiriced AF.

Bought 100ml of the bibliotheque parfum version for 70€ at a stores sample sale. I love it! Also have super cedar, which works great in spring and summer.

Absolutely agree about your conclusion, Omar. I have actually come back from Stockholm, to a surprise xDD. During my trip I have stayed in a very lovely suits, where I had Byredo Bal D'Afrique shampoo and other stuff to my disposition. I can tell, the smell of these cosmetics is really beautiful. I am not a fan of this niche house, but if I should choose one perfume for myself, it will be Oud Immortel. A very clean, dry, eloquent perfume, which I quite like. This is not natural Oud based at all, obviously, but a very nicely blended formulation. I have written a review regarding this on Fragrantica. I think, that this is a very nice versatile and quite elegant perfume to wear pretty all year round. I must agree, regarding the beauty and success of Bal D'Afrique line, even that this is not my style.

I got the discovery box and am in love with Gypsy Water, Mojave Ghost and Rose of No Man’s Land. My primary concern is longevity and projection especially for this price tag. Gonna look some more because these three are amazing. 😊

because you said you loved Mojave Ghost, I'll get a sample of Bal D'afrique, Rose on no man's land and Gypsy Water.. I just got a sample of Mojave Ghost and I love it so much..

I have 10ml of Tobacco Mandarin and it’s great, definitely getting a full bottle. The white label line doesn’t do it for me due to terrible longevity.

Bal d' Afrique is lovely, need to spray more though I find the smell kind of becoming skin scent with the floral n chiffon kind of sweetness at the end.. I like to spray it on my pillow, blanket n scarfs it leaves a very comforting n elegant smell

You love to see you review the harmonist fragrances.

Love these ❤️‍🔥

Great video and I enjoyed it and Byredo Slow Dance is the only fragrance I tried from this brand im going to try out the rest of the house and have a blessed day

Obsessed with Byredo, not only their perfumes but also their bath products, hand cream, candles. My ranking would be: 1. Mojave Ghost 2. Gypsy Water 3. Blanche 4. Bal D'Afrique

Please do a video on Penhaligons

I have Mojave Ghost and Bal D’Afrique and they’re absolutely incredible. The Mojave has pretty good longevity and projection imo. Unfortunately the Bal D’Afrique does not have the best performance, but the smell is truly a 10/10

Thank you for the video ! I am audience from Hong Kong, actually still struggling between MFK silk mood or rose of no man's land.

Great content

Nice video. Can you make one for Kilian too?

I agree with you on everyone of these!!

How come no one mentions Byredo Lilly Casablanca. By far the best scent, Black Saffron is a close second.

Do they have a sample for all so I can choose which one I like?

I have the no name bottle, it's nice, the scent, silage, and performance are 8.5/10. Pricy but worth the money. Perfect summer scent.

Paris Corner has some clones of this brand that are about 90% similar with equivalent/better performance for much cheaper 👍 I love Blanche, Sundazed and Bal D’Afrique

Bal d Afrique is divine. It’s hug in a bottle

I live in sweden so first off let's be clear that none of byredos products are high projectors. Swedes like subtle scents and byredo tends to produce skin scents rather than loud club projectors. Bal d'afrique is great and mojave ghost is nice but I find the performance a bit weak on the latter. My favorite byredo is actually oud immortel. It's fabulous Western style beginner oud that for me is addictive. Price point is a bit high for what you get but boy this smells nice. Omar, give it a sniff!!

Baldafrique is the type of fragrance you can just spray and lay in. It's so calming almost like a floral, creamy honey woody vanilla. It makes you smile when wearing it. Absolutely love the smell but not the price

Montale buying guide please Keep up the good work

Pulp for me is up there as one of the best from this House 👍

I really appreciate you giving an opening and later on, wearable critique.

Pulp is underrated and good tbh. It’s a sour/fruity Scent performance ok like 7 hours

I’ve sampled and bought Mojave ghost. My first niche fragrance and I need another bottle of it, it smells too great to put down.

I'm a huge fan of Gypsy Water, but on me the performance is horrible. Has anyone tried the perfume oil version? Is it any better?

I bought all 3 discovery sets and now I want to get the new large one but they duplicate at least 60% of the samples!! It's so frustrating when you want to sample the many hundreds of their scents but they only push about 5 or 6. The same scents are in all of the sets. What's the point of that? I wonder if I Can ask them to change the samples out? I already bought many bottles plus makeup. I hope they accommodate me. At first I HATED Biblioteque. I put it in the bathroom to use it up there. But after a week it was all I could think about. It became addicting. I bought a large bottle. I've never had that happen before. Byredo is a strange house. Many of their scents are very odd like you said. For example, Super Cedar is over priced Pine-sol. I can't imagine ever liking that. But despite the weirdness I love them! It's so different. Even though the packaging is generic & many people copy it, I'm, in love with them & want to sample everything. I'd like to discover other designers similar to them. I hate mass produced big brands like all the stuff at Sephora... Burberry etc... It's so common. That flowery old lady perfume is still everywhere.

I have the mojave ghost lotion, scent lasts all day

Great to hear that someone else doesn't like Santal 33's smell. It really reminds me of church incense.

The dry downs leave a bad aftertaste, if that makes sense.

check of vanilla antique and black saffron!😊

I recently bought a discovery kit- and I’m disappointed in the longevity and scent bubble size for the ones I like- that said I’m giving all the ones I like a chance and see if I think it is worth buying a bottle. Bal D’Afrique, Gypsy Water, and Rose of No Mans Land. Hated Blanche- I had no idea what aldehydes were now I know. I closed my eyes and called it yellow dial scent. Haven’t tried the library scent yet …

You need to try De Los Santos! My favorite fragrance from Byredo!

My favourite scents from Byredo are 1996 and Black Saffron

Mojave Ghost to me smells extremely feminine, I find it to be reminiscent of any Avon lotion you might've smelled. Bal d'Afrique on the other hand is one of the best niche fragrances I've smelled. Its performance in my experience is a bit lacking but maybe it's just me.

Do diptyque next please 🎉

please do a rating of all acqua di parma scents

London smell sweet and clean. Is it because I love in east London 😭😭😭😭😭😭 the weed and pigeons made sense, sprinkle in chicken shop

LOVE bal d afrique

My neighbor used to have a strong perfume. He would come home and spray it on and head out again. The whole staircase would smell good. I once asked him what it was and it was Byredo Super Cedar. It was expensive at the time and i was broke so i didnt buy it. Seems to be discontinued now

You should review black saffron.

I tested Byredo and the house didn’t work at all for me. On my skin they don’t even last a couple of hours. After the first hour they become a skin sent that’s barely detectable. I tried Bal D’Afrique, gypsy water, Mojave ghost and Black Safaron.

Is it true that their fragrances were reformulated? If so, when were they reformulated? I just got two new bottles from Maxaroma and for some reason they smell slightly different. Is it because the scent changes when it's in the bottle or did the scent change?

I love lazy sunday by maison so i guess i should try the blanche one!

Penhaligon’s discovery next? I know you’ve been a bit harsh of them in general in the past

Mojave ghost is unisex?

I have yet to sample a byredo fragrance. Many of the reviews ive read have said they have bad performance. If I'm spending that much money I expect good longevity

Tobacco Mandarin, delicious 😊

I have tested the 5 most famous Byredo on different parts of my skin. Then I left, stroll in mall for 1 hour. The most standout, silent sexy somehow sweet is d Bal Afrique. The drydown stay beautifully. So i bought this hyped stuff😅 I love the bibliotheque & incandescence as well but i will not buy this expensive bottle.

You have to get your hands on Unnamed.

Please Omar a xerjoff buying guide 🙏

Are you sure Cartier Declaration d'un Soir discontinuted?

review m. micallef please!

Is there one of these that’s close to silver mountain water?

1996 by them is exquisite

Now owned by Puig Group, Carolina Herrera, Penhaligons and JPG a few of their new stable mates…

Swedish perfume brand❤️ happy to be Swedish

I had high hopes for Byredo being swedish myself, but it seems like I´ll have to pass on these, dont like the feminine type of fragrances and im surprised that the longevity is so short because the price is pretty high, i´d rather buy PDM or Xerjoff.

... until you smell vibrant vertiver by Paris corner (,Bal d'Afrique clone) then you'll get confused. Perfect clone by Paris corner

Bal d’Afrique… In my top 5… ❤

My wife wants a bottle of Bal D Afrique, but I rather pay the mortgage.

I got 24+ hrs on rose of no man's land.

RESPECT!🫡🫡🫡

You might be smelling Vetiver Tonka by Hermes instead of Byredo Bal d' Afric in London. The Hermes came first

Bought young rose for my wife and it’s off the chains

Essential Parfums discovery set when? 😮‍💨

Byredo is a house I’ve been very curious about, tobacco mandarin is calling to me lol

I think floraiku has minimalist scents but wish their prices were a little less😿😿😿

I'm to broke 🙃 but I'm first. Im kidding this guy is one of the best fragrance RU-vidrs like 2nd place

Byredo fragrance is just for cool people. That's it. 🤣🤣I feel absolutely chic and so on trend when I wear them.

Initio Please!
