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.

I'm a big fan of Byredo fragrances—Bal d'Afrique and Mojave Ghost are old favorites—and the magnetic lids on the spray bottles are a dreamy touch. I've found that the scent "turns" a bit sooner than I've come to expect from other bottles, even when properly stored. The candles, like the perfume, are one-of-a-kind and feel like luxury every time I light them.

Only docked a point because the votive candle burned REALLY unevenly for me. I'd hope for a cleaner, more even burn for a candle at this price point.
I have a hair perfume (in mojave ghost), a roll on oil (in mojave ghost), a hand cream (in tulipmania), and a hand wash (soap) (in tulipmania) from Byredo and they are all so luxurious and delightful. The scents are long lasting and mood lifting. They make for great gifts.
I absolutely love the different scents from Byredo, particularly Blanche. It gives a very clean but deep scent.
Byredo has been the first start of mine in the serious fragrance world. As saturated as the regional market got with the use of Black Saffron, it brings me back to California and early college days. Blanche is also a classic clean fragrance, simple but mesmerizing. I loved Accord Oud as well, more than their Oud Immortel. I have recently grown a liking to tobacco mandarin, 1996, and super cedar, but they’re undergoing testing. I attach a lot of significance to fragrances, and I think one of those would be my new era’s scent. I have tried both the hair mists and fragrances, the hair mists run out quick and have less longevity. I would go for the fragrances & hand creams if you’re looking for longevity and projection.
Obsessed with Bal d'Afrique, but man is that price tag a bit of a shocker! I do have to say, you can tell that their scents are more complex and luxe than those of lower price points. But it will always be a splurge purchase for me.
Smells absolutely amazing, want to try more products ❤️❤️🫶🏻
The dreamiest fragrances. The Bal D'Afrique is my signature scent and really lasts all day.
Love the scents. My favorite would have to be Bal D’Afrique. I also enjoy Mojave Ghost and Gypsy Water. They are light, inoffensive scents. Perfect for the office
A rose for no man’s land is what I needed for my life! I smelled it and knew I had to have it. The price is up there but it’s worth it if you can splurge. The scent lasted all day
In this house, Mojave Ghost is in heavy rotation. Love the scent — it’s distinctly recognizable and the packaging design is 10/10. Cost per wear? Worth it.

Love a lot of their scents like Black Saffron, Mojave Ghost, and Bal D'Afrique. Also have such interesting makeup packaging.

Very pricey but scents are unique and an investment
One of my favourite perfume is Bibliothèque from byredo. They have a lot of beautiful and unique fragrance that last all the day long.
On the pricier end, but high quality fragrances that last the light the day and follow a more androgynous scent profile.
LOVE their rose of no man's land perfume and suede hand lotions - they all smell divine.

Some fragrances last longer than others

Absolutely adore the scents. Mumbai Noise is the most interesting scent I have ever smelled and I think will be in my fragrance cabinet for a long time to come!
This has quickly become my favorite brand while I’ve been exploring new perfumes to find my new signature scent, since I’m finally graduating from my santal era (because I feel like a lot of people I know smell like this now). They have a lot of fun, spicy, and warm scents that I typically lean into, and I love all the unique smells I’ve tested so far.
Super complex scents and luxury experience
The candles and perfumes are wonderful, my favorite are gypsy water and Mojave Ghost.

Pretty pricey
Mojave Ghost is a scent that I continue to come back to over and over again. I've never smelled a Byredo scent that I didn't like, but Mojave Ghost is the best. All of their packaging feels luxurious and well worth the money. I love trying out the different scents by getting the travel size versions.
Absolutely love every thing about these perfumes. The packaging and unboxing experience is so lovely and sets your expectations of the beautiful scent that’s ahead. My ONLY gripe is that some of the fragrances don’t last but for an hour or so.
