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 love their scents but after a couple sprays they wear off within the hour

Bal d'afrique is beautiful!

Reached the point in my relationship with Byredo where I hate how much I enjoy seeing what they release. Love the candles and scents. As someone in the industry, their body and hand products are overpriced, but they still do smell GREAT.

Expensive but special. Each of the scents are truly unique and thoughtful. And the packaging feels luxe and heavy but understated and not garish. Not every scent is going to be for every person so I would suggest smelling before purchasing rather than purchasing blind online, especially at this price point. Candles have a great throw and are long-lasting too. Their scents have a great way of filling up a room without being overwhelming in a way that Yankee candle could never.

Such unique fragrances! I always get asked what I’m wearing, love these

Amazing unique scents
Meh? I bought the Gypsy Water Hair Perfume after hearing so much about it and usually loving all of the scent notes for this specific scent. When I received it and tried it out I was disappointed that the dominant scent to me seemed to be baby powder. Not sure if this just because it was the hair perfume version, but was really underwhelmed by the quality and uniquness of the scent. Like most perfumes, I recommend getting samples if you can to make sure that it is the right scent for you, even if many others have raved about it.
Bal d'Afrique is everything and I haven’t found another scent that can top it.
Byredo's Mojave Ghost is one of the best fragrances I own, and my most complimented. I love to layer it with the matching hand cream, and it makes the fragrance even more long-wearing. Will continue to repurchase!

Everything is so well done down to the branding/packaging. Nothing to change!
I really love the look, quality and smell of the products I have used from Byredo. However, I can’t justify the price points. They are definitely a luxury + high end brand but I would repurchase as more of a splurge than an everyday product.
Feedback
Great as gifts for holidays etc
This is definitely on the "luxury" side of things, so don't be shocked at the price tags - but the Ambre Japonais candle is worth it!

Love their fragrances - especially obsessed with Bal D'Afrique and Mixed Emotions. Great selection of unique, unisex scents.
Feedback
A bit lacking in longevity, and more expensive than I'd like!

ughhhh just the best. They have the best ever rose scent I kid you not. The handwash is such a luxury (more than Aesop).
Won't last long, yet I liked the Fragrances.
Feedback
Do something to make it last long
Fair scents. Good quality for the price. I don't like Byredo's scents way too simple (though much better than Jo Malone)

I got the sampler from the website which allows you to apply the cost of the sample to a full size fragrance. I also went to the Byredo store in NYC to try on some smells. I ended up going with Mumbai Noise, which I felt was a strong and unique fragrance.
Feedback
Go to the store and try a bunch of scents! Don't feel pressured to buy the same day. Let the fragrance settle in and make a better decision later.

The candles are absolutely worth the money. The scents are gorgeously complex and the scent throws well. I never considered myself a rose person until I got Burning Rose. It’s “rose+”.
Feedback
Don’t waste your money with the mascara. Packaging is cool but I personally don’t think the rubber brush head is as effective as a bristle one, and the formula is nothing special.
I’m very particular about scents and fragrances and Byredo makes some of my favorites - big fan of their hand soap and hand and nail cream. Pricey so I make sure to use every last drop!
Everything I've purchased from candles to fragrances have been incredible.
Feedback
Nothing.
AMAZING candles and perfume
Unique sexy scents. A lot of them are something you have probably never smelled before in a perfume.
Feedback
Price point is high.
