Nice slightly churchy incense, thyme, eucalyptus and maybe some cedarwoody thing going on here as well. This is really a wonderful snippet of the southern european countryside. Probably Greece. Dry, but not dusty, resinous, but not sticky, fresh, but not watery. It’s a catholic sauna without the guilt. Really loving it.
Powderly lemon bon bon-bergamot and sharp green-ish black pepper juxtaposed over sweet soft sandalwood and white musk.
Opens sharp peppery, green and lemony. Lemon quickly gives way to a sweetened powdery bergamot. pepperiness grows greener with a galbanum note that is pronounced without going over the top. Cedar comes in providing a bit of a woody backbone to the pepper in the mid as the powdery bergamot note dies down. A sweetened sandalwood and soft white musk grow in the base as the mid dies down. Leaves an almost vanillic sweetness on the skin after all else is gone.
It's such a masculine fragrance. The play on rose and incense is beautiful. It has great longevity, moderate projection and good sillage as it lingers in the air.
First one I’m trying from the brand’s discovery set. The notes don’t lie (not in this case), I knew I was going to love it and boy was I right. I love this fragrance!! It’s spicy, but fresh? A cinnamon you can wear all year around really. Unfortunately for me, there’s no sillage to be seen! Again, for me! Very very week performance if you like it to be noticed (by the wearer too) during the wear, which should be the point… So sad.
Literally my favorite fragrance my partner wears.
Naxos is one of my favorites. It is expensive, but it also smells really expensive. This was my first thought. I really love it.
It just smells like mold with some nail polish to me. It’s bad.
Yummy tropical gourmand, has shampoo vibes too. Really lovely, for people who enjoy sweet scents.
This is such an amazing hyper realistic gourmand fragrance !
Exactly smells like brown sugar, vanilla ice cream and coffee.
Perfect for the fall & winter !
This is a very light twist of the original Cedrat Boise.
Basically Cedrat Boise but without the fruity part, and with a little bit of Oud (I almost don't smell it).
This is a more woody, more masculine version of Cedrat Boise.
If you already have Cedrat Boise, this is not worth buy IMO.
Otherwise, I definitly recommend it. Super nice everyday scent !
I like the scent, but it reminds me of the green pear flavored swedish icecream called "Piggelin" (and I don't know yet if thats a good or bad thing). A faint airy fruity spring-summery skin-scent. The sillage and longevity are a bit underwhelming. Doesn't last 30 minutes on my skin.
I was lucky to be presented to 1996 only a couple of months ago and it has forever changed my own fragrance podium. It combines two of my favorite notes in perfumery to perfection: the Iris and the leather, in such a spicy and earthy way. The kind of fragrance that makes my shoulders drop from the very first sniff. I am obsessed. This is so charming and comfortable, definitely long lasting on me, more than the average selection from Byredo. I would consider the sillage moderate. This fragrance is the sophisticated dimension of you, on a leather jacket, for sure.
It is wonderful, summery, casual. Gently enveloping, perfect for summer. It stays close to the skin but comes alive again and again in the warmth of the sun.
Why do I have this in my heavily curated collection?
The reason is purely functionality. It's because I needed an easy reach, easing going, great smelling scent I can wear while being active in the daytime outdoors/during events/lessons/sport or whatever. I love the heady scents. But, sometimes I just want an easy spritz.
Superleggera smells exceptionally good in a modernized generic sort of way. Let's take Allure DNA, freshen it up and update it with modern woody materials and clean white musks. It's Chanel, so it's done to perfection. Everything is perfectly placed and it's never too much or loud and obnoxious. Living up to its namesakeSuperleggera is light and airy with a little masculine edge. The scent is sharp, citrus fresh for about an hour, then moves onto the translucent woods and ambery patchouli musk. It is here that it leaves the sport realm and dives into elegance.
10/10 in this designer scent profile
love the bottle but I literally use her as a room spray
Fresh, very melancholy scent! I’ve received many compliments on this fragrance. It is a aquatic scent.
Didn't liked it at first, but I retried it months later and I really enjoy it now.
It's leaning slightly feminine, making it sexy on a man IMO.
Great longevity and sillage.
Dusty arid desert sands, the ash fallen into place. The cosmic entity of the phoenix force, manifested, a fiery, radiant being incubated in an ambery powdery incense elixir. Resinous and animalic. Lilith’s breath blown in your face, with a hypnotizing flash of iridescent light. Aglow… for within lies the code.
Beautiful, earthy, dirty with a hint of sexy.
You can't go wrong with creed
The Need To Fly starts of as a crisp tonic bases summer cocktail, with fresh spices. After one hour it reminds me a bit more of absinth, with a crispy fennel/anise combined with some fresh woodiness. At the end, an hour or 4-5 into the fragrance’s life you get a soft skin like woody freshness with a very soft like leathery note. It is a very lovely daily scent that gives the wearer a nice evolution in fragrance. It’s a lovely crisp fresh fragrance that comes to it own on a lovely warm day.
"This is me, this is how I perceive myself in a scent"
Here I describe what most fragrance lovers chase but rarely find—a scent that doesn’t just smell good, but reflects you. Not an accessory, not a mask—a mirror.
Mx is special precisely because it discards boundaries and embraces nuance. That hazy blend of woods, spice, musk, and freshness—it doesn't push a narrative, it holds space. It's warm and open, textured but clean, grounded yet somehow ethereal.
BTW, we can do better than “masculine” or “feminine.” Those words can be shortcuts that flatten things, especially with art like this. A scent can be Grounded, Expansive, Radiant, Shadow, Tactile, Weightles
Or like Mx—fluid, soulful, and fully alive.
Myrrh Shadow 403 smells like the Crypt Keeper's signature ice cream flavor, an inexplicable combination of sour medicinal powders and resinous, demulcent sweetness. Apothecary ice cream served in dusty parlors where softly spiced cola syrup was dispensed by skeletal hands, bittersweet olde-timey remedies dispensed, ironically, in a dusty tomb lined with crumbling marble shelves and cobweb-draped medicine bottles, stone walls saturated with the balsamic phantasmagoria of centuries-old incense. It vaguely recalls the whispery smoke and mysterious veils of Annick Goutal Myrrh Ardente - except Myrrh Shadow 403 emerged from the freezer creamier, sweeter, colder: mystical tree resins churned into midnight, ghoulish horror host gelato.
This is a new DNA 🧬
This would smell amazing on an architect or engineer of some kind
