Here in Japan Byredo Blanche and Lazy Sunday Morning are both actually insanely huge. I noticed that Japanese people tend to lean towards florals and laundry detergent, soapy scents and stay away from fragrances with harsh openings or very strong overpowering fragrances in general. I personally like sweet and musky scents but growing up in the Philippines, most men, my father included, tended to lean towards more of the classic masculine DNA like Ralph Lauren, etc(I think Chanel Egoiste Platinum is the closest in terms of scent profile to what my dad used to wear all the time). It’s so interesting how the preferred fragrances differ in every country. Especially here in Japan where “smell harassment” is an actual thing.😂

@@SchoolOfScent So basically a big part of Japanese culture is being mindful of the people around you. And because Japanese people are more sensitive to smell “smell harrassment” is basically making other people feel uncomfortable due to your smell regardless of whether it’s intentional or unintentional. Whether it be an overpowering fragrance or just plain old B.O, they’re both considered smell harassment here. 😂

Great to see an overall really good rating on most of their fragrances! A friend recommended Bal d'afrique to me and that's how I got suckered in to the line. No regrets. I'm generally not a lover of clean soapy scents on myself because they usually give me a headache but, the citrus notes in here and the base notes really ground it for me and it's lovely! Inoffensive as well. I have rose of no man's land in hair perfume form but, its such a balanced rose scent. I'm really enjoying it for the spring/summer time. Then you mentioned MFK's a la rose which I also adore. It is def much brighter and cleaner of a rose. I guess, like you said, a greener tone. I figured only recently, I am a sucker for rose scents. 😊 Diptique's rose is also quite nice. Right on point with comparing to Le labo! I also prefer Byredo over Le Labo. It seems more special, kind on the nose, and is a brand that does not try too hard in terms of notes. It just melds well.

While walking around Liberty in London, I came across Byredo and went straight to try Rose of No Man’s Land because I love roses. It felt as it was love at first sight hence I went straight to that. But after a few weeks, I ended up getting The Noir 29 too. 😂

My day wear flips between Bal D'Afrique if I'm wearing something bright and Rose of No Man's land when I'm a bit more styled or wearing darker/green clothes. My night wear jumps between Black Saffron for warm months, then Sellier for colder months. But yeah i don't like to project too much, just enough for someone close to me to get a whiff, without overbearing. I would like to add MFK Grand Soir (gorgeous smell) to add to my nightly rotation and Le Labo Matcha 26/another 13 for the daily.

Absolutely agree about your conclusion, Omar. I have actually come back from Stockholm, to a surprise xDD. During my trip I have stayed in a very lovely suits, where I had Byredo Bal D'Afrique shampoo and other stuff to my disposition. I can tell, the smell of these cosmetics is really beautiful. I am not a fan of this niche house, but if I should choose one perfume for myself, it will be Oud Immortel. A very clean, dry, eloquent perfume, which I quite like. This is not natural Oud based at all, obviously, but a very nicely blended formulation. I have written a review regarding this on Fragrantica. I think, that this is a very nice versatile and quite elegant perfume to wear pretty all year round. I must agree, regarding the beauty and success of Bal D'Afrique line, even that this is not my style.

My clone was ALT Desert phantom and lemme tell you they’re pretty damn near spot on they both have the same notes but Desert phantom is a little harsh on the opening but after about 6-10 minutes it’s almost an exact clone of Mojave ghost. I’d say check it out before you make the full purchase of Mojave ghost

I bought all 3 discovery sets and now I want to get the new large one but they duplicate at least 60% of the samples!! It's so frustrating when you want to sample the many hundreds of their scents but they only push about 5 or 6. The same scents are in all of the sets. What's the point of that? I wonder if I Can ask them to change the samples out? I already bought many bottles plus makeup. I hope they accommodate me. At first I HATED Biblioteque. I put it in the bathroom to use it up there. But after a week it was all I could think about. It became addicting. I bought a large bottle. I've never had that happen before. Byredo is a strange house. Many of their scents are very odd like you said. For example, Super Cedar is over priced Pine-sol. I can't imagine ever liking that. But despite the weirdness I love them! It's so different. Even though the packaging is generic & many people copy it, I'm, in love with them & want to sample everything. I'd like to discover other designers similar to them. I hate mass produced big brands like all the stuff at Sephora... Burberry etc... It's so common. That flowery old lady perfume is still everywhere.

Bal d'afrique is great and mojave ghost is nice but I find the performance a bit weak on the latter. My favorite byredo is actually oud immortel. It's fabulous Western style beginner oud that for me is addictive. Price point is a bit high for what you get but boy this smells nice. Omar, give it a sniff!!

Bal D’Afrique, Gypsy Water, and Rose of No Mans Land. Hated Blanche- I had no idea what aldehydes were now I know. I closed my eyes and called it yellow dial scent. Haven’t tried the library scent yet …

After wearing the samples for a month I actually like Blanche as a work scent. My favorite was gypsy water and I only tried the ‘library’ scent once I really didn’t like it. Maybe I’ll try it again in the future because obviously my tastes have changed even over a month here 😂 And my nose and tastes have changed after I have tried more fragrances. I used to be so rose + violet and now i am not sure. I used to mic two perfumes and both are discontinued and I e been chasing that scent I guess I need to move on 😂😂😂 I bought gypsy water it actually reminds me of a very light version of lira with citrus vanilla and wood… obviously not identical by any means but it is also work friendly
