I agree on the Bal D’afrique! I’ve never smelt anything like it and instantly fell in love with it! So fresh and powerful but not overbearing! It smells expensive if that’s a thing lol
Me and husband just fell in love with Bal d'Afrique. Glad it made your top list since we haven't managed to smell a lot from them but the few we tested left us underwhelmed.
Bal d'Afrique is my absolute favourite as well! Signature scent. I've actually just bought it again and got a sample of Pulp, and I'm in love! Might be my new favourite for summer :)
I love Byredo, it’s such an underrated house. Yes, the lasting power it’s not great but, i have Flowerhead and it last all day on me. I put a lot of juice when i am wearing Bal D’Afrique and i can still smell it after 6-8 hours.
This buying guide helps me decide which scent to buy.. finally decided to buy mojave ghost and gypsy water.. bal d' afrique is already on my soon-to-buy list. Thanks for this :)
I’m wearing Velvet Haze at work today and it’s quickly becoming one of my signature scents. So cozy and comforting, just what we need in this times. 🥰 I know Bal d’Afrique is supposed to be a summer scent, but I can’t wait to see how it performs in fall/winter (just got my full bottle on a crazy good resell deal 🙌🏽).
I only have one Byredo, La Tulipe. It's a beautiful light flower garden scent. I actually don't mind if a scent doesn't last because I like changing up my scent a couple of times a day.
I went to by "Gypsy Water", but ended up with "Bal d'Afric"! "Slow Dance" is a great one in the Byredo collection I think. All these are my top 3 once😘 And you are so right, they don't hold on for 12 hours like Tom Ford's, but indeed some of the best unique scentes. It's so much fun to refresh them through the day🥂❤️ And I love your RUclips videos, thank you so much. Best regards from Norway 🇳🇴😊
Thank you Claudia! I get that longevity is very important to many people but ultimately doesn't determine quality (naturals tend to have poorer last power vs synthetics). Interesting to get everyone's perspective on this. Love Bal d'Afrique... it's just so good!
I just started watching videos and I enjoy it alot. The way you describe the perfumes makes me want to smell it. Can you also make a Le labo buying guide?
My Brother just bought me a bottle of 1996 for my Birthday. It's my first Byredo perfume as I normally wear Le Labo or Vilhelm. But I tried the handcream of 1996 and liked it.
The only Byredo that I own is Bal D'afrique 💖 oh my gosh, love at first sniff. I don't think I need to buy another Byredo perfumes anymore 😅 I'm already satisfied with Bal D'afrique 💞💞
You convinced me to get Bal d'Afrique and oh! It's beautiful. Also like Eyes Closed (cinammon bun in a perfume), Bibliotèque for cooler days and absolutely love Rose of No Man's Land. Need to get my hands on Pulp before I can't! Do not understand Mojave Ghost's hype... really don't. Nice video and thank you!
“Rose of no Man’s Land” is my absolute favorite from the brand and actually my signature scent. In my skin and clothes I must say it last 12+ hours with a cloud around me of 3/4 hours. Love from Spain xx
@@hajarmsaad4987 “Bal D’afrique” was a surprise to me as well, i tried it on paper and it was meh, but on the skin the difference is WILD, is a woody/green/sweet scent in my eyes, it last really well plus the projection was great. if you prefer stronger ones, a sweet leather “Black Saffron” and a woody spicy “Eleventh Hour” both last amazing as well. enjoy xx 🤍
I like your list, Roberto! Bibliotheque is very similar to Whispers in the Library by Maison Margiela. If you have a fragrance collection I hope you start uploading and we can see!
@@JKbtsforevs22 it wasn’t like a super rosy scent, it has a hint of rose and high dose of woody musk base to it. Not even a hint of sweetness IMO. It is pretty unisex slightly leaning towards feminine. Top notes only last for an hour and after that I can only smell the musky base note, and the base note last forever on my skin and my clothes
I definitely get the most compliments from bal d'afrique. I love wearing Sundazed on hot summer days, and wear Gypsy Water and Mojave Ghost more situationally when I'm going to be in closer quarters (flying for example). I don't own it but Eleventh Hour always reminds me of Christmas.
I recently discovered a boutique near me in Montreal that sells the most amazing collection of niche fragrances and, though their service was honestly impeccable and my experience smelling their fragrances was amazing, I think your buying guides give such a great overarching idea of the brand and gives me the confidence to gravitate toward certain perfumes. I’d love to see a buying guide or best of niche or even a few mentions of these houses: l’Artisan Parfumeur, Penhaligon’s, Imaginary Authors, Carner, Maison Crivelli, , Heeley Parfums, Zoologist. Thanks so much for your highly insightful and entertaining videos!
Enjoyed this so much together with your another buying guide video on Byredo. Absolutely agree with you especially for Bal D’Afrique, which I adore its fascinating and unique scent(actually I found your channel by searching this). Hoping you’ll make more great videos.
Your opening statements are highly valued as usual, Josephine. We can agree that, you know it in your heart -well, actually in your nose 🤣😂, whether you like or not a scent. Bal d'Afrique is one I'm curious about, since an earlier vid where you mentioned it. Happy weekend, Ricardo.
Salut Jos, J'ai récemment eu l'occasion de tester toutes la gamme Byredo. Je me suis procuré Bal d'Afrique et Mojave Ghost mais gros coup de coeur pour Bibliothèque et son odeur si réconfortante! Une belle découverte grâce à toi.
I’m in love with Biblioteque😍 it’s on my wishlist, I have and love Mojave ghost and a set of 3x12 ml but don’t remember the names, also I like Sundazed a loooot
Hi Josephine I'm not the biggest fan of Byredo, but I must admit the brand has some really nice scents. I have the La Sélection Valentine 6x 12 ml: Blanche, Gypsy Water, Mojave Ghost, Bal d’Afrique, Rose de No Man’s Land and Black Safran. My wife love Gypsy Water and in the meantime she has a 100 ml bottle and a 100 ml Bottle from Bal d’Afrique is on the buying list. Greetings from germany P.S. I highly recommend you to test Les Liquides Imaginaires Bloody Wood Eau Sanguine...
Ohh I didn't know they had a discovery set with all these fragrances, that's awesome. Thanks for the heads up on Liquides Imaginaires... I will check it out next time I'm in Jovoy!
@@jusderose The longevity from Bloody Wood is not the best, on my skin around 6 h, the projection time is 1 1/2 h max 2 h then the scent tone down to an skin scent. I love Bloody Wood very much and I'm happy to have now a 100 ml bottle 😊
I enjoyed this video so much and you look so beautiful. Your description are incredibly detailed I could almost smell them, I currently have Eleventh Hour and I really enjoy it 🥰
I find that gypsy water actually lasts forever on my skin and projects super well.. I can spray it on my clothes and it will stay until the next wash. It’s the one byredo fragrance that preforms really well in my opinion!
I tried bal d Afrique and for some reason felt I smelled like a nice candle. I put off Mojave ghost bc I smelled Kristen ess hair products, and though nice, wouldn’t want to smell like all the time. Gypsy water just works for me..fresh, versatile, cool but soft. I feel it works year round
Yes!! I was just thinking that after getting my discovery set. The dry down smells different since the Hermes one smells consistently throughout the day but BalD’Afrique has a soft scent that lingers.
Great Video, love your voice with the french pronouncing🥰👍🏻love Byredo, i have Gypsy Water and Velvet Haze in my collection.😊👍🏻🧡 next i wanna buy bal d‘afrique😍lovely greetings from Germany❣️🌸
Great take on Byredo. Thanks 👍👍👍 There’s a powerhouse in their release and that is Oud Immortel. Oud Immortel connects a bridge between niche and designer. That is so state of the art and long lasting and there’s no offensive Oud (for those who doesn’t like Oud). Longing for your take on that, in future. Thanks again
Oh yes. Jus de Rose described it spot on. It’s one my top favourite fragrances in niche category. It has cigarette /ashtray type smell with that immortelle, all together persistent.. lingers .on and on and on. I bought it from Selfridges few years back.Oud Immortel is a benchmark, it's blended so well
I will like to know your thoughts on mojave ghost and rose on no man's land..I think they are absolutely wonderful, and longevity is more than 12 hrs on my clothes !
I recommend if someone is considering Pulp that they get decant first. I found it loud and smelling of rotten fruit to my nose. Don't think I'd enjoy smelling it off someone either but never has so can's say for sure.
Love this kind of content! ❤️🤗👏👏👏 I acctually had a signaturescent long time ago from Byredo - Palermo, bitter orange/citrus scent, loved it, but it is discontinued. Velvet haze sounds so intriguing and beautiful!
Talking about Avatar wearing Pulp, maybe a video of "what would they wear"? What would James Bond wear, what would the guy from 500 days of summer, the guy from The Notebook, Ironman, Tyler Durden and so on 🙂
Are you opposed to doing a segment on quality body sprays or cologne that are perfect for working out or just going for a lunch with friends, without smelling like cheap cologne?
Okay I'm confused because I tested Byredo at NM today thinking I'd like the popular ones...ended up being very turned off by Bal d'afrique and totally in love with Biblioteque...
Bal D'Afrique is my new signature scent, along with Almaz, which does have a similar profile to my nose. I've not seen a video comparing the two but I'd love to know what you think?
Enjoyed the video thanks! U named 4 id really like to try all of them except Black Saffron just because leather is not a note I'm into rn, but of course I'd try that one too lol. What do u think about Mojave Ghost and its' performance? That's another im interested in. Thanks and take care. - Colin
Interesting to hear your perspective. I do not think so highly of Byredo. I don't find Gypsy Water to be unique at all. Gypsy Water is very common and smells like a lot of inexpensive natural fragrances from health food stores in the U.S. I have Bal D'Arique and I don't love it, nor do I think it is particularly unique. I'd like to try Velvet Haze because I love velvety scents, but I have been put off by the performance of what I have tried so far from the house so I haven't been in a rush to try it. I just can't see paying Byredo prices for such bad performance.
Actually, after your review I went back to retry both Bal D'Afrique and Gypsy Water, and I found I was really enjoying Gypsy Water. So I'm appreciating them more. Thanks.
Hi Josephine-- do you have any thoughts on the Byredo extraits de parfum, particularly Casablanca Lily? I'm a tuberose lover and think it smells so good, but the extrait line is quite a bit more money than the standard line. Do you think these are worth it?
Byredo fragrance Top 5:
1) Gypsy water
2) Bal d’Afrique
3) Black Saffron
4) Pulp
5) Velvet Haze
Black Saffron is not good
I agree on the Bal D’afrique! I’ve never smelt anything like it and instantly fell in love with it! So fresh and powerful but not overbearing! It smells expensive if that’s a thing lol

Funny enough I only wear Bal d'Afrique in the winter!
I am smelling Bal d'Afrique sample right now and I feel this is something I would like to wear in the autumn :)
I only have one Byredo, La Tulipe. It's a beautiful light flower garden scent.
I actually don't mind if a scent doesn't last because I like changing up my scent a couple of times a day.
La Tulipe and Bal d’Afrique are my two favourites and signature smells. It’s so subtle and delicate and I just love La Tulipe 🌷

As a masculine man lol, my favs are oud immortel, gypsy water, bal d'afrique, oud accord and mister marvelous. Looking at 1996 atm...
As an extremely feminine woman, saaaame.
Yes as a feminine woman Oud Immortel is my favorite
Amazed me you described Pulp as” fig & rhubarb” Very unique scent when I try it but I can’t put it in words.. till I heard fig & rhubarb
I just started watching videos and I enjoy it alot. The way you describe the perfumes makes me want to smell it. Can you also make a Le labo buying guide?
Today I purchased bibliotheque and tried sprayed pulp on my skin and it was love at 1st sniff. its now on my must purchase list
My Brother just bought me a bottle of 1996 for my Birthday. It's my first Byredo perfume as I normally wear Le Labo or Vilhelm. But I tried the handcream of 1996 and liked it.
I own and love Rose of No Man's Land. It's my favourite Byredo fragrance. Great video 😊
I just smelled it the other day. My friend gave me a decant. I ordered a 100ml 2 days after haha. So so good!
@@paolasoriano2867 I know, it's so lovely isn't it 😊
@@paolasoriano2867 is it unisex fragance or more on female side?
The only Byredo that I own is Bal D'afrique 💖 oh my gosh, love at first sniff. I don't think I need to buy another Byredo perfumes anymore 😅 I'm already satisfied with Bal D'afrique 💞💞
The way u described Pulp that it was meant for Avatar and the fact Byredo release Space Rage which basically Pulp "The Remix" makes me jawdrop, hha!
You convinced me to get Bal d'Afrique and oh! It's beautiful. Also like Eyes Closed (cinammon bun in a perfume), Bibliotèque for cooler days and absolutely love Rose of No Man's Land. Need to get my hands on Pulp before I can't! Do not understand Mojave Ghost's hype... really don't. Nice video and thank you!
“Rose of no Man’s Land” is my absolute favorite from the brand and actually my signature scent. In my skin and clothes I must say it last 12+ hours with a cloud around me of 3/4 hours.

Definetly agree with you I own it !! Please can you suggest any other byredo scent that lasts and give good performance same as ROSE OF NO MANS LAND
@@hajarmsaad4987 “Bal D’afrique” was a surprise to me as well, i tried it on paper and it was meh, but on the skin the difference is WILD, is a woody/green/sweet scent in my eyes, it last really well plus the projection was great.

@@hajarmsaad4987 hope you love it, thank you!
@@hajarmsaad4987 how do you like it after 9 mths bro
I haven’t tried this house yet. Some of the ones I’m interested in are B’al d Afrique and Blanche.
My list without considering gender. Gypsy Water, Rose of No Mans Land, Eleventh Hour, Bibliotheque and Mojave Ghost.
I like your list, Roberto!
Bibliotheque is very similar to Whispers in the Library by Maison Margiela.
If you have a fragrance collection I hope you start uploading and we can see!
I took your advice. I bought the 11th hour byredo. Love the smells especially in the cold environment.
I'm surprised Mojave Ghost didn't make the list. Either way we'll done!
Ohhh it's really nice....but I have a preference for Elevator Music which was sadly a limited edition which is why I didn't include it in this list...
I have rose of no mans land and it last FOREVER on my skin!! I sprayed it on my clothes once and I can still smell it 2-3 weeks later
How does it smell? Sweet? Floral? Woody?
@@JKbtsforevs22 it wasn’t like a super rosy scent, it has a hint of rose and high dose of woody musk base to it. Not even a hint of sweetness IMO.

I samples Bal d’Afrique and I’m in love with it! Definitely purchasing a bigger bottle! Thank you 🙏🏼
I am surprised blanche didn’t make it , is so stunning
I agree! It's actually my top 1 from byredo. I wonder why.
Pulp is beast mode! Not all scents are strong but doesn’t mean all of Byredo is as such!
I love how your reviews are always on point

Je me suis procuré Bal d'Afrique et Mojave Ghost mais gros coup de coeur pour Bibliothèque et son odeur si réconfortante!
Une belle découverte grâce à toi.
Oui très jolie parfum Bibliothèque. J'ai la bougie et j'adore!
I love Pulp! Currently on my wish list. Love your reviews, just received Santal Basmati, love love it!
Maybe Black Saffron is exactly what i´m looking for! A smoother Tuscar Leather...
I love Biblioteque
Maybe it's the level of humidity... Byredo lasted 10 hours on me.
I tried the bibliotheque today. Strong sandalwood, but soothing.
SUNDAZED ♥♥♥ :) Summer happiness and carelessness :) But I am about to smell everything you featured in the buying guide :)
I love bal d’Afrique and own it, but it smells like a sophisticated version og This is Her, by Zadic&Voltaire.
I’m in love with Biblioteque😍 it’s on my wishlist, I have and love Mojave ghost and a set of 3x12 ml but don’t remember the names, also I like Sundazed a loooot
My favorite is Mojave Ghost. Loved the video.
Black Saffron is the most underrated. It's amazing and intoxicating.

I own Flowerhead, which is a lovely mixed bouquet of flowers.
I find that gypsy water actually lasts forever on my skin and projects super well.. I can spray it on my clothes and it will stay until the next wash. It’s the one byredo fragrance that preforms really well in my opinion!
1996 also has great performance!
I tried the pulp you mentioned , too sweet like you said. It does smells good.
If I'm not mistaken, every perfume in your list comes from perfumer Jerome Epinette who is an absolute genius and my favorite in the industry.
Bal D’Afrique smells like heaven ! But unfortunately he doesn’t last enough on the skin
I tried bal d Afrique and for some reason felt I smelled like a nice candle. I put off Mojave ghost bc I smelled Kristen ess hair products, and though nice, wouldn’t want to smell like all the time. Gypsy water just works for me..fresh, versatile, cool but soft. I feel it works year round
I loveeeee how gypsy water smells but it just doesn’t last 😢
Actually there is a perfume that smells close to Bal D'Afrique: Hermes Vetiver Tonka.
Yes!! I was just thinking that after getting my discovery set. The dry down smells different since the Hermes one smells consistently throughout the day but BalD’Afrique has a soft scent that lingers.
I’m new to your channel. I was looking up Byredo. Good review Josephine. I subscribed 👍🏼
I’m so pleased to hear you enjoyed this video, thanks for the support 🥰
Mojave ghost is by far my favorite from Byredo. Projection/sillage is weak but it lasts days on clothes.
U never fail to amaze at every video!!! here comes my 1st eva niche fragrance 😁
Thanks Jason :)
Great Video, love your voice with the french pronouncing🥰👍🏻love Byredo, i have Gypsy Water and Velvet Haze in my collection.😊👍🏻🧡 next i wanna buy bal d‘afrique😍lovely greetings from Germany❣️🌸
Would like to try Bal D'Afrique, Pulp and Velvet Haze! Merci, Josephine!
My favourite was OUD IMMORTEL. Amazing freshness..
They have a collab with ouai now to combine Mojave ghost with their dry shampoo formula.
Josephine reminds why I love women so much!
Great take on Byredo. Thanks 👍👍👍 There’s a powerhouse in their release and that is Oud Immortel. Oud Immortel connects a bridge between niche and designer. That is so state of the art and long lasting and there’s no offensive Oud (for those who doesn’t like Oud). Longing for your take on that, in future. Thanks again
If you check her byredo ultimate buying guide she review oud immortel there.
@@PriscillaKanta Oh I missed watching it. Thanks for the heads up
Oh yes. Jus de Rose described it spot on. It’s one my top favourite fragrances in niche category. It has cigarette /ashtray type smell with that immortelle, all together persistent.. lingers .on and on and on. I bought it from Selfridges few years back.Oud Immortel is a benchmark, it's blended so well
Such an atypical oud... and like you say a powerhouse too!
@@jusderose Thanks for shedding lights on Byredo 👍👍👍
My favorite is Pulp by far
I totally agree. Bal d'Afrique is fabulous.
I will like to know your thoughts on mojave ghost and rose on no man's land..I think they are absolutely wonderful, and longevity is more than 12 hrs on my clothes !
Velvet Haze is gorgeous. Soft chocolate-coco nutty richness
I recommend if someone is considering Pulp that they get decant first. I found it loud and smelling of rotten fruit to my nose. Don't think I'd enjoy smelling it off someone either but never has so can's say for sure.
Love this kind of content! ❤️🤗👏👏👏 I acctually had a signaturescent long time ago from Byredo - Palermo, bitter orange/citrus scent, loved it, but it is discontinued. Velvet haze sounds so intriguing and beautiful!
Thank you Ann! I would have loved to try Palermo... sounds delightful and happiness in a juice!
Your line up is very close with my taste, but I would replace the Pulp with 1996, probably the best one for me for the brand.
A house I’m still yet to try but they have some interesting options for sure 🙂
I’m wearing pulp byredo, I love it
I like fresh scents. But if I am paying niche prices it has to last 12 hours on my skin.
Great review. Bought Bal d’afrique on your recommendation and I love it. It’s definitely top 5 in my collection
So happy to hear it!
Also, Rose of no Man’s Land and Mojave Ghost 😍🤤❤️
I agree with your first two!! I have them. Do you have tips to make it last? Layer it with Molecule 2 maybe?
Definitely try layering with molecule 02 and moisturize your skin too. I have a full video dedicated on how to make your fragrance last longer :D
Since Byredo is a swedish brand the longevity isn't questionable. People in sweden don't really like strong fragrances because they would be annoying
Talking about Avatar wearing Pulp, maybe a video of "what would they wear"?
What would James Bond wear, what would the guy from 500 days of summer, the guy from The Notebook, Ironman, Tyler Durden and so on 🙂
Haha yes that would be a fun video to film!
I own mojave ghost, bal dafrique and Sundazed. I enjoy them but I reach for bal dafrique the most.
Nice picks :D
bought gypsy water and velvet haze! loved it!
Kayali Musk reminds me of Byredo Bal d’Afrique, I personally prefer it (:
I love the Bal D’afrique but unfortunately it lasts about 5 mins. on my skin.
Are you opposed to doing a segment on quality body sprays or cologne that are perfect for working out or just going for a lunch with friends, without smelling like cheap cologne?
Okay I'm confused because I tested Byredo at NM today thinking I'd like the popular ones...ended up being very turned off by Bal d'afrique and totally in love with Biblioteque...

I got La tulip and I totally love it!very unique
It's very fresh and I chose it to be my gym perfume❤️
Pulp to me smells like orange juice that’s been sitting out in the sun in the best way lol
Can you please share the range of top 3 of your favorite byredo please ?😚
Sure! Bal D’Afrique, Pulp & Elevator Music (it was a limited edition, the closest to it is Mojave Ghost)
I love Bibliotheque!
Mojave Ghost and Bullion are bangers too
Reine de Nuit is a must-have for me
Bal D Afrique get the body wash and the lotion and you will amp up the fragrance
Enjoyed the video thanks! U named 4 id really like to try all of them except Black Saffron just because leather is not a note I'm into rn, but of course I'd try that one too lol. What do u think about Mojave Ghost and its' performance? That's another im interested in. Thanks and take care.
- Colin
I really enjoy Mojave Ghost as far as skin scents go. It's a lovely ethereal scent with a nice fruity musky touch. I get decent wear from it around 7h
Interesting to hear your perspective. I do not think so highly of Byredo. I don't find Gypsy Water to be unique at all. Gypsy Water is very common and smells like a lot of inexpensive natural fragrances from health food stores in the U.S. I have Bal D'Arique and I don't love it, nor do I think it is particularly unique. I'd like to try Velvet Haze because I love velvety scents, but I have been put off by the performance of what I have tried so far from the house so I haven't been in a rush to try it. I just can't see paying Byredo prices for such bad performance.
Fair enough it's not for everyone!
Actually, after your review I went back to retry both Bal D'Afrique and Gypsy Water, and I found I was really enjoying Gypsy Water. So I'm appreciating them more. Thanks.
My favorite
La tulipe
Pulp

Hi Josephine-- do you have any thoughts on the Byredo extraits de parfum, particularly Casablanca Lily? I'm a tuberose lover and think it smells so good, but the extrait line is quite a bit more money than the standard line. Do you think these are worth it?
I smelled them a while ago... I'll have to test them again!
Please guys witch one is very summery and light?
Hi Josephine
What do you think about rose of no man's land
I have it here and it projects and lasts like a monster on my GF.
Love your work 😊
I love it! Super nice fresh rose. Agreed it lasts for quite some time 😊
