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 was reading a manga and got very curious when I saw a bottle of Blanche drawn there. And now you acknowledged me that Blanche is a huge thing over there 😊
@@SchoolOfScent So basically a big part of Japanese culture is being mindful of the people around you. And because Japanese people are more sensitive to smell “smell harrassment” is basically making other people feel uncomfortable due to your smell regardless of whether it’s intentional or unintentional. Whether it be an overpowering fragrance or just plain old B.O, they’re both considered smell harassment here. 😂
Japan is known for Zen religion , minimalism & just clean. Laundry scent, Aldehyde, blonde wood light floral are associated with Clean environment i guess?
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
Im so tired of great perfumes with poor longevity, I mean, whyyyyyy my matcha the body shop cheap perfume lasts longer than many of my expensive ones! Thanks for the comment on the longevity of the gypsy water!
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 😭.
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 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.
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
Yeah when I requested a tester, Mojave Ghost lasted for days on that little cardboard paper it's my signature fragrance, I like it because it feels fresh yet really present, really illustrates me as a person
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
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.
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)
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 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. 😂
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.
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
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!!
Did you notice the reformulation in byredo oud inmmortel? It used to be a beast ,best male perfume I have ever smelled ,but the last 2 bottles we bought smelled completely different to what we used to know ,its now a weak cheap smelling perfume😢😢😢😢
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.
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
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. 😊
If I can help out, I recently purchased Mojave ghost after I gave my friend my clone of ghost. My clone was ALT Desert phantom and lemme tell you they’re pretty damn near spot on they both have the same notes but Desert phantom is a little harsh on the opening but after about 6-10 minutes it’s almost an exact clone of Mojave ghost. I’d say check it out before you make the full purchase of Mojave ghost
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.
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..
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.
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
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
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.
That’s so cool Daniel, you got the full Byredo experience in holiday form 😆 thanks for sharing! Yes I was intrigued by Oud Immortel but will definitely check it out based on your summary 👌
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
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.
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
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 …
After wearing the samples for a month I actually like Blanche as a work scent. My favorite was gypsy water and I only tried the ‘library’ scent once I really didn’t like it. Maybe I’ll try it again in the future because obviously my tastes have changed even over a month here 😂 And my nose and tastes have changed after I have tried more fragrances. I used to be so rose + violet and now i am not sure. I used to mic two perfumes and both are discontinued and I e been chasing that scent I guess I need to move on 😂😂😂 I bought gypsy water it actually reminds me of a very light version of lira with citrus vanilla and wood… obviously not identical by any means but it is also work friendly
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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 was reading a manga and got very curious when I saw a bottle of Blanche drawn there. And now you acknowledged me that Blanche is a huge thing over there 😊
That is super interesting, tell me more about ‘smell harassment’ 😆

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
I love Black saffron and Mojave Ghost. Definitely test Black Saffron on skin, it does not give any smell on paper strip idk why.
Im so tired of great perfumes with poor longevity, I mean, whyyyyyy my matcha the body shop cheap perfume lasts longer than many of my expensive ones! Thanks for the comment on the longevity of the gypsy water!
Have you smelled the animalique?
@@ph3n1xryse I have not...but added both bal d'afrique and mojave ghost in my collection, I am truly loving both.
Black saffrons violet notes are a bit to heavy for my, unfortunately don’t use as often
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 😭.
Bal d'afrique is one of the greatest smells ive ever had the pleasure to smell. Its a jaw dropper.
it's truly amazing. i tried it the other day but i'm not sure how good its performance is. i am not able to smell it after 1-2 hours on my skin
@@XHawkSavic performance isn't great. It's an easy fragrance to dupe as there are some really good ones.
@@wannabegolfin24-72what are some good dupes?
Overhyped
its one of my favorite scents but the longevity wasn't worth the price. Once I finish im hoping to find a dupe with stronger longevity
I like Super Cedar from Byredo. But I find this brand overpiriced AF.
Exactly
not the extraits but yes the normal ones
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 though the same thing lol
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 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.

I like to spray it on my pillow, blanket n scarfs it leaves a very comforting n elegant smell
It's amazing. I tried it today in the shop. Its so pleasant, you don't get tired of it.
My favourite scents from Byredo are 1996 and Black Saffron
I have the mojave ghost lotion, scent lasts all day
Mojave Ghost is the showstopper for me! So freshhhhhhhhh! The spillage is also impressive.
Do diptyque next please 🎉
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
I would say it’s easily worth the price if it gives you that feeling 👀

Yes!!
Great intro into Byredo 👌... Still waiting for the Initio fragrances review, would love to hear your thoughts on the brand!
i love baldafrique and its like intoxicating and citrusy fresh at the same time.
Thank you for the discovery
Excellent brand, black saffron is the best of this brand and mojafy ghost absolow.
Considering a masculine rose, how
would Rose of No Man’s Land compare to Amouage Lyric and which of the two would you prefer?
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.

@@SchoolOfScent oh u are right, i will also have to go and smell it at the store soon
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?
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.
I would go for the latter personally
Do they have a sample for all so I can choose which one I like?
How come no one mentions Byredo Lilly Casablanca. By far the best scent, Black Saffron is a close second.
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.

I see that you rate this higher than Le Labo. Interested to visit their store.
you should try the the darker colored fragrances you can get samples on scent split
I really appreciate you giving an opening and later on, wearable critique.
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?
Sometimes when the bottle is new you have to wait for the scent to oxidize after its first spray to smell similar to the tester!
check of vanilla antique and black saffron!😊
Great content
Great to hear that someone else doesn't like Santal 33's smell. It really reminds me of church incense.
Super Cedar is really nice. I got my nose on it while in the U.K.❤
You need to try De Los Santos! My favorite fragrance from Byredo!
Am I the only one who gets a tamarindo type of smell from it?
I agree with you on everyone of these!!
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.
Montale buying guide please
Keep up the good work
Eleventh Hour is a great plum frag!
London smell sweet and clean. Is it because I love in east London 😭😭😭😭😭😭 the weed and pigeons made sense, sprinkle in chicken shop
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.
Love these ❤️🔥
The dry downs leave a bad aftertaste, if that makes sense.
review m. micallef please!
Pulp for me is up there as one of the best from this House 👍
Is there one of these that’s close to silver mountain water?
No
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.
please do a rating of all acqua di parma scents
LOVE bal d afrique
Penhaligon’s discovery next? I know you’ve been a bit harsh of them in general in the past
I got 24+ hrs on rose of no man's land.
Now owned by Puig Group, Carolina Herrera, Penhaligons and JPG a few of their new stable mates…
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.
Swedish perfume brand❤️ happy to be Swedish
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
I would recommend a dupe/clone.
Are you sure Cartier Declaration d'un Soir discontinuted?
Mojave ghost is unisex?
You have to get your hands on Unnamed.
Bal d’Afrique… In my top 5… ❤
It’s glorious
Please Omar a xerjoff buying guide 🙏
Tobacco Mandarin, delicious 😊
I'm to broke 🙃 but I'm first. Im kidding this guy is one of the best fragrance UA-camrs like 2nd place
Pls reply
Disagree on that last bit but thanks 😉
... until you smell vibrant vertiver by Paris corner (,Bal d'Afrique clone) then you'll get confused. Perfect clone by Paris corner
1996 by them is exquisite
I love lazy sunday by maison so i guess i should try the blanche one!
Mojave ghost smells nothing like the one..the amount of white florals in Mojave ghost is quite prominent…unlike the one..
I agree. In my nose its similar to creed silver mountain water
My wife wants a bottle of Bal D Afrique, but I rather pay the mortgage.
Bought young rose for my wife and it’s off the chains
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.
I think floraiku has minimalist scents but wish their prices were a little less😿😿😿
Byredo fragrance is just for cool people. That's it. 🤣🤣I feel absolutely chic and so on trend when I wear them.
