I have always wanted to collect Byredo's perfumes. I have always heard that their perfumes are very good, and their positioning is very textured, so when my brother is in Sweden, I directly asked him to help me buy this local brand of perfume.

I still remember that because of the jet lag, he and his girlfriend were in the store helping me to shop, and at the same time called back. I didn't answer the call because I was resting. As a result, I originally expected to buy a travel set of three small bottles, but in the end they chose one by themselves, and they still bought the largest bottle, so they completely relied on themselves to buy blindly.

About the fragrance part, I only told my brother in advance that you can choose the one that suits me. No matter which can you choose, I will keep it as a collection mentality, and I will not care about whether this smell is the one I will spray every day. Because of this, a straight man like him who is afraid of trouble will help.

As a result, he, a person who doesn't usually use perfume, asked the sales staff to help him choose "a perfume for men" as soon as he arrived at the store. Wait, I said your selection criteria are crooked, right? Although I like the refreshing, woody, marine tones of some men's perfumes, but just say this, the clerk recommends it, I don't ask anything, I don't try it (I said that I will buy it anyway if I don't understand perfume) The perfume has been brought back to Taiwan, the key point is that I still need five or six sheets for one can, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~ (crying in the wallet) Anyway, I should smell it and make sure it smells good before I buy it back. My brother said: "Actually, my nose is not sensitive anymore. After trying so many kinds, I can't tell who is who at the end~ I wanted to say "Oh? Men's perfume? Yes!" and bought it! "Well... I have to thank him for helping me carry such a heavy gift back, and then quickly share with you how this jar of perfume smells.


Notes

Just sprayed on the front, there will be a strong smell of alcohol, which reminds me that JO MALONE will also have this situation. Then the alcohol smell will recede very quickly, and it will be filled with an extremely dry breath. Let me describe it like this. If the climate in Taiwan is considered slightly humid, this flavor will be like replacing your current space with the climate near the Middle East. It is quite dry, so dry that you will feel submerged, just like taking a bottle The feeling of sand grinding your nostrils is very strong. Even the end of each breath turns astringent, just like the palm of the hand has just been washed with super cleansing soap, and there is not even a drop of sweat on the hand.

This composition comes from the top note of vanilla, which has a floral fragrance and a small amount of powdery smell, as well as the sourness outlined by the ginseng fruit at this time, mixing a kind that makes your environment instantly dry, strong, and fruity. Go down to the effect of velvet and astringency on the skin.

Then the sourness gradually disappeared, and it was no longer so dry, replaced by sandalwood, mixed with a more mature floral fragrance and inherent powdery tonality. This perfume uses violets, so overall it will be slightly irritating and a bit strong. After all, violets are commonly used ingredients in hunting-type male perfumes, usually relatively strong, with a somewhat mature impression. Also because of the addition of magnolia, he is not completely masculine here, but also has more soft and gentle floral fragrance.

What remains behind is the staying power of ambergris and the quiet, very strong woody smell of cedar. How about the fragrance? Netizens have different opinions on the fragrance retention of this perfume. Many people say that the fragrance retention is not high, but my own feeling is that it will have a woody fragrance lingering on the clothes. Let me put it more simply and rudely, like washing clothes with crystal soap, it will leave a retro soap smell, which is probably the concentration. Do you think it has a strong sense of presence? I personally think it's quite obvious, at least it's a taste that can be detected from the distance between two people talking. Because I have met a boy whose clothes are washed with crystal soap, his smell is "you can smell it when you lean on his shoulder", "you will smell it when he stretches out his arm to hug you", "he gets close to you You can smell it when you talk", "You can feel it when you help him hold the coat" are probably these situations.


suitable person

As for who is Mojave Ghost suitable for? My imagination of this scent is that the person who wears this scent may be a boy who lives outside and is nearly thirty years old. He washes the one or two items by hand every day, which are very expensive and can feel the texture of the fabric. The fine-haired cotton top, let the clothes dry and have a bit of sandalwood scent with soap, blending with the quiet smell kissed by the sun. And every morning, he used to re-wash the short hair that was messed up last night, blowing out fluffy lines, and grabbing a little Sati concrete with a fragrance to pull out the layers. Finally, he put on a Qlocktwo watch and sprinkled some perfume on his chest, because he knew that there would be a date today. During the chat with the other party, he knew that the other party was not familiar enough to hug him, but the position of the chest corresponds to the heartbeat The beat will scatter the faint scent in the air, and even when you press your fingers on the chest and hold her, you will secretly hand over your own scheming, so that she will vaguely recall the man's love on the way back. Engraved with a light smile.

If you prefer dry and sunny impressions to wet alcoholic ones; you prefer mild woody tones, sandalwood or cedar, or even soapy notes to light, elegant florals. Then I would recommend you to use this perfume, which is very similar to Berdoues Arz el-rab cedar, both of which have a sense of "respecting Buddha", that is, both sandalwood and cedar have this steady tone. But this one has more acidity and dryness in the front, and a more elegant and mature (higher olfactory age) floral fragrance in the middle and back. While Berdoues Arz el-rab has a slightly spicy taste, the overall impression of iris will be more obvious, less fruity, sour, and astringent. Provide some reference for you who like perfume!
