I love the cake and spice working here without really evoking the emotions of a gourmand. The juniper makes it more gender neutral. I would buy a small size here, but I don’t know how often I’d pull for it.

I think the French 75 comes through the most here. It’s an interesting citrus but it has almost no longevity.

This one is pretty unique. It has a great mix of citrus & wood that I haven’t smelled elsewhere. I pick up powder as well with helps soften things. Great longevity for a citrus scent.

I thought this was more complex than most citrus scents in a good way, but I wish it had better longevity.

For me this reads as a nice balance of green (oak moss is a favorite), light florals and aquatic. I tend to struggle with aquatics based on their longevity and it’s the same story here. Scent is interesting and pleasant, but after a few hours you’ve got nothing left. For this price point that is a hard sell.

This is a mall vanilla, grown up. For how strictly sweet it is, there is enough complexity to make this feel more mature than many standard gourmands. Strongly evokes candied nuts for me which I think is its best quality. I don‘t want a full bottle of this, but I’m glad I tried it.

I get very green and a little powder. Good level of complexity, but doesn‘t rise to the level of great for me. I’d like more floral balance or more dedication to green spice.

This was fine, but for all the notes listed it didn’t amount to much on the skin.

The dry down has a lot of powder which I like, but overall it lands too soapy for me.

I love the mix of floral and green here that gives you a fresh cut flower feeling. I’ve had pretty good longevity from other BYREDO scents I’ve tried, but this was untraceable within an hour. For that price point, I’m glad I only got a sample.
