It's a pretty and lowkey scent. The problem for me is, that I can't really tell a single specific note out of this. To me this has the same scent as my partner without any perfume on, so it's nice but I wouldn't spend that much money on a perfume wich such poor performance on my skin.
Hello, is it me you're looking for? Cause I wonder where you are And I wonder what you'll do Are you somewhere feeling lonely? Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart For I haven't got a clue But let me start by saying...
I can't smell you.
Fresh but warm. Soft almost lactonic scent. It's really cosy and beautiful. Great if you're a bedtime scent wearer!
Stunning. I bought this for my girlfriend because she’d fallen in love with it from a 2ml sample. I can always tell when she’s put it on, the fragrance fills our home. I can often smell it from the room next door, sometimes even when I’m downstairs. It’s beautiful, elegant, not too complex and easy to wear. Comes out more woody on my skin.

I'd never sampled a Byredo until a couple of weeks ago and I have to say I'm not impressed with the three I've tried. This is categorized in the 'mystic wood' section. A disappearing act the french might call 'Bois de santal secrète' perhaps? I usually like these fragrances, I can site two (and frequently do) which I love... Atelier Cologne Santal Carmin and Xerjoff Ivory Route but even these seem loud in comparison to this very, very, subtle fragrance. Gypsy water is a name with so much promise but sadly it doesn't deliver on it. The opening is a squeeze of lemon and pine needles then almost immediately 'shhhhushed' by vanilla and very uninspiring sandalwood. I say uninspiring because it seems to lean firmly towards creamy rather than spicy and with vanilla already lowdown, just serves to make this snug & cozy straight away. The freshness and 'watery' nature which may have been deliberate due to the name is juxtaposed against the softest base and for me doesn't work. It's too weak and barely detectable on my skin in minutes. Nothing to hate about the smell as such just nothing of it...not impressed.
This has a nice airy quality but nothing to hold onto for any length of time.
