Byredo earns largely positive reviews for sophisticated, unisex fragrances like Gypsy Water, Bal d’Afrique, Mojave Ghost, and Rose of No Man’s Land, with chic minimalist packaging and, for many, all‑day wear. Reviews also flag inconsistency: some scents have weak projection or short longevity, certain items (lipstick, mascara, hair perfumes) disappoint, and a few finds smell overly powdery or sharp; still, the brand’s layered compositions and standout candles keep fans repurchasing.

Everything about this brand is stunning, with the caveat that it costs an arm and a leg. That said, the bottles are beautiful to display and a truly luxurious experience to use. Everything smells user-friendly, yet unique; opinionated, without being too overpowering. I'm basic and just love the Bal d'Afrique. I will say though, I've found dupes that allow me to smell approximately the same without spending nearly as much. When I do occasionally splurge on Byredo though, I never regret it.
F*ck I love Byredo! Stopped by Nordstrom to check out some Le Labo recommendations from my hair dresser, ended up leaving with two perfumes from Byredo instead.

I have no notes. I love my Byredo perfumes and can’t wait to buy more. I have Pulp and Sundazed.
My favorite scent from Byredo is Mojave Ghost. After staying at a hotel in Las Vegas that used Byredo bath products, I immediately bought the shower gel and fragrance in Mojave Ghost. So refreshing and beautiful.
This brand truly embodies luxury. I’ve purchased several items, but the standout for me is the Mojave Ghost hair perfume — an absolute must-have in your beauty cabinet. It’s perfect for reviving your hair on days it feels a little flat. A little goes a long way, so use it sparingly!
The Byredo Bibliotheque candle is the best smelling candle I’ve ever purchased. It elevates any room I am burning it in and brings a relaxing, rich vibe. I love burning it in my office while I’m working or when I’m relaxing. I purchased a small one and it’s lasted a while. I will be repurchasing a bigger one as this is the one I always reach for.
Gorgeous fragrances. Insanely gorgeous packaging.
Byredo has a great range of scents that are unique - from creamy to floral to citrus. In particular Gypsy Water, Bal d’Afrique and Rose of No Mans Land are my favorite. If you are someone who doesn’t like scents that swing too far one way or the other (too sweet, too musky, etc), these three scents are also a great option. My only criticism is that the staying power is at most half a day, in my experience.
Once you go byredo you aint going back right? It is just a step above most else in packaging and smell. It is sophisticated without being too complex, it is simple without being basic. This is the move. It is sexy as all hell and if you go into a cool person's house they have some of around for sure. The body wash also slaaaaaaps.
Heavenly fragrances. Gypsy Water is my all time go-to fragrance. No matter where I go I get compliments on it. Minimal but beautiful packaging, the unboxing is really luxe.

Would love to be able to buy samples of the other fragrances to test them out before buying.

I can't wait to get more smells! I just wish some scents would last longer
Smells like heaven - I want every sent!
Byredo is incredibly pricey but...I think it's worth it. The scents are refined and sophisticated and the scent lasts long on your skin ( I didn't feel it but people told me they could still smell it on me at the of the day) I first got as a present "Eyes Closed" and was smitten with the scent. Afterwards, I got "Black Saffron" which is very much a winter scent for me. I also got the "Mojave Ghost" hand cream and their lipstick in "Feverish". I think it makes a great gift and you get obsessed with the scents. Also stylish packaging and in-store service. For me, it's a yes!
I have the Bibliotheque perfume, but I've smelled a ton of their products, and have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. The perfumes have great lasting power in staying on the skin. The bottles also last a long time in my opinion. The packaging and bottles are beautiful. Yes, they are luxury and expensive, but the value is there for the perfumes. The candles are too expensive for me to justify personally, but if someone fancy gifted it to me, I'd be stoked.

I love fragrances and have heard very good things about Byredo, I bought a discovery set with high expectations and was extremely let down. Compared to Le Labo and Boy Smells, I found that their scents weren't very unique and they didn't last long at all. I would say the only stand out scents from the discovery set were Rose of No Man's Land and Mojave Ghost. Can't say I will be moving forward with purchasing a full size perfume.
Such a waste if money. Bought their lipstick because of the packaging, but the quality was just bad.
I hold this brand close to my heart because the first time I encountered it was in the Galeries Layfayette, Paris. I knew I wanted a scent that reminded me of my travels and that is what I found. I tend lean toward more masculine scents, so I settled on “Slow Dance”. Top: Opopanax Heart: Geranium, Labdanum, Violet Base: Patchouli, Vanilla

This brand is top notch in my opinion. From the branding, to the packaging design, to the thought design, to the marketing. It takes you through a journey, and they truly do bring memories back to life with their scents.
My friend actually gave me this candle: Burning Rose… and I absolutely love the scent. A first for me, as I generally don’t use these types of things since they smell like I’m a customer at the Body Shop. This is sophisticated and truly pleasant.
Feedback
Never thought of purchasing candles until I experienced this one. Beautiful packaging too.
I recently bought a sample of Gypsy Water and Rose of No Mans Land and while I love both scents, they did not last very long on my skin. However, I did only get a very small sample of this so I couldn’t use as much as I normally would if I had a full size bottle, so that was likely a factor. I love this brand’s packaging and the scent I have tried but the lasting power was a bit disappointing.

A friend gifted me a candle as a house-warming gift. The packing and scent were luxurious. I kept the glass container after the wax was all gone - makes for a great brush or pen holder. It's pricey but worth it compared to other candles at the same price level.
