More from Byredo
The house has 45 perfumes here, led by Parfums Black Saffron, Parfums Mojave Ghost and Parfums Rose Hand Wash.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €240. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Rihanna Reb'L Fleur and Lancôme Variety but less than Initio Parfums Prives Absolute Aphrodisiac.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts longer than Nest Golden Nectar. Base notes like leather and patchouli are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Rihanna Reb'L Fleur and Lancôme Variety spread further.
