Byredo wins praise in reviews for evocative, unisex fragrances—standouts include Mojave Ghost, Bal d’Afrique, Gypsy Water, Bibliothèque, and Rose of No Man’s Land—paired with minimalist, luxe packaging and memorable unboxing. The brand is good for nuanced, wearable scents and candles, but recurring complaints cite inconsistent longevity, soft projection, and very high prices; some note uneven candle burn and a few underwhelming cosmetics.

Looking for a great luxury experience without leaving home here it is. Love Byredo candles. Immediately transforms your home to a luxury resort. The investment is truly worth it. This is a lovely treat.

What really stands out about Mojave Ghost is its balance. It’s minimal but not boring, delicate but not weak. It works well for everyday wear, especially for school, casual outings, or times when you want to smell nice without drawing too much attention. The longevity is moderate: it lasts several hours but stays subtle throughout.

I bought a sample of the Mojave Ghost fragrance and instantly fell in live. I wish expensive brand like this made smaller sizes for purchase as a full size bottle is simply out of mg budget right now.

First found their rose soap at a speakeasy in NYC, now use it in our guest bathroom and everyone who uses it LOVES it! I know it is pricy, but it makes a great gift and countless friends have purchased after trying it out at our house.

I’ve got the Super Cedar perfume and a Byredo lipstick - love how sleek and modern their packaging is. It really takes minimal beauty and makes it feel luxe. That said, their stores can be a bit intimidating, so I usually stick to shopping online or grabbing something at a concession.

Favorite perfume brand! I have so many holy grail Byredo perfumes. Can’t go wrong with G Water or Mojave Ghost for classic clean girl perfumes. For winter time I love the nostalgic vibe of Bibliotheque. Blanche is also a favorite, smells like fresh musky laundry. The absolu version lasts for a long time! A lot of people complain about the longevity but I spray on clothes and hair as well and it lasts for a while! Just got their new release Alto Astral and am exited to keep testing it out. I’ve also tried and enjoyed the hair perfumes and body lotions.

They have a wide range and variety of scents, tied to emotions and memories, so the fragrances tell a story. Bal D’Afrique is the standout for me and I regularly get asked about it when I’m wearing it. It’s rich, complex and layered. The longevity and projection is pretty good.

I have the Bibliothèque and a generic pillow mist and while the fragrance smells nice the projection isn't very strong. The candle has lasted a very long time though.

Byredo has so so many wonderful products. They are absolutely worth the price point, if you can afford to treat yourself once in a while. also make great gifts. I've had several of their perfumes and am obsessed with their vetyver hand cream atm. I will be a customer for years to come!

One of the most complex, an elegant fragrance lines. I just love having them out on the shelf. Even if I don’t wear it every day, though I should!

I’m obsessed with their fragrances, candles, lotions and love the packaging, and I’m a packaging designer. That said I’m feeling like for entering into a time where less packaging is better and I think they could do better Delivering premium experiences with less waste.

My go-to for fragrance! I truly can't live without. My favorite scents are BAL D'AFRIQUE, GYPSY WATER, AND ROSE OF NO MAN'S LAND. It is an investment but so worth it in my opinion.

I love Byredo perfumes! The scents are so unique. My favorites are Mojave Ghost and Young Rose. They aren’t cheap but worth it to me. I definitely want to try more scents.

Bibliotheque Candle had a lovely scent. I purchased the smallest size and I went through it fairly quickly as i light it often.
Feedback
If i were to purchase again, would go for the bigger size.

if it's good enough for marta, it's good enough for me. nothing says rich like bougie body wash and this one is IT, honey. totally worth the splurge and lasts a long time bc a little goes a long way.

The Mojave ghost sent is one of my all-time favorites. Though this brand is expensive, it definitely feels like it’s worth it. The scent lingers which is key. And I fear as obsessed with that as I am, the Conrad Hilton uses it as their brand in the hotel rooms. They’ve got the hand wash and hand cream as well as shampoo and conditioner and body wash. If you wash your hair with it, your hair will smell like it for days, which is incredible.

I loooove Byredo fragrance style. Bal d'Afrique is one of my favs. The ones I tried were long lasting, even if the scent was soft

This brand is for those who's looking for a not too overpowering quality signature scent.

I enjoy it but it’s not my first choice. Personally enjoy more of a floral scent

Incredibly pricy, but they are the most elegant scents & they last incredibly long. The in-store experience is super bougie. This would make for a great gift!
I ADORE Byredo! The candles, the colognes, all of it is incredible. I love the branding/packaging, and my personal favorites are the Bibliotheque, Woods, and Burning Rose candles and the Mojave Ghost, Reine De Nuit, and Mister Marvelous perfumes
