On the spirits of the company "Bairedo" know a few. The brand itself is quite young, and its first perfume appeared in 2006. Since the birthplace of the fashion house was not Paris, the capital of fashion, but Stockholm, its products did not immediately receive loud fame. But it is complex enough to be of interest to connoisseurs of aromas. Affordable price, modernity and relevance, expressed in perfumes, a rapidly growing collection - all this makes the Bairedo fashion house popular.
This is a selective perfume, but of a fairly high quality. There is an interesting idea in the spirits of "Bairedo", as well as in the creations of famous fashion houses. Let's get acquainted with the creative heritage of this brand, taking Gypsy Water Byredo eau de parfum as an example. Customer reviews, fragrance description and photos will be given below.
A little about the brand
The founder of the company is a certain Ben Gorham. This man caught fire with the idea to bring his olfactory images to life. That is why his creations have such strange names as "Library", "Ball of Africa", "1996", "Blanche" or Gypsy Water. In reviews of Byredo, users claim that the name of the latest perfume translates as "Gypsy Water". And the name of the brand itself comes from a rethinking of the phrase “by redolence”, which means “through the expression of emotions.”
Discarding the last part of the word "-lence", Ben Gorham received "by redo", which he combined into one word that does not exist in any dictionary. It is clear that the founder of the brand does not personally create formulas for his perfume compositions. To do this, he signed a contract on cooperation with such outstanding "noses" of our time as Jerome Epinette and Olivia Giacobetti.
These two perfumers have already created a fairly extensive collection of perfumes, which includes floral, spicy, oriental and fruity fragrances. Ben Gorham only sets the idea, expresses the image, which is embodied in precious extracts by the duet of masters. The fashion house produces not only perfumes, but also face and body care products, as well as scented candles and gizmos for the interior.
Olfactory image of perfume
How should Gypsy Water smell? In reviews of Byredo Gypsy Water perfumes, users say that the name is very successful, well-aimed. But the gypsies for Ben Gorham are not dirty beggars from the railway stations, but a free nomadic people who are difficult to subdue or tame. He is always on the road, always in a thirst for travel. When testing "Gypsy Water", you seem to be transported to a clearing in the middle of a coniferous forest, onlakeside.
The fire is burning, it smells slightly of smoke. Men and women sit by the fire, smoke pipes and tell each other long, intricate stories in which passionate fatal love is invariably present. At dawn, the creeping fog will hide the wagons and grazing horses, and when the sun rises, there will be no one in the clearing. The camp will leave, and only the smoke from the fire will indicate that the nomads spent the night here. And you will also be seized by this wanderlust that will take you beyond the horizon.
Byredo Gypsy Water manufacturer description
What did Jérôme Epinette and Olivia Giacobetti do to embody the spirit of gypsy freedom in perfume and bottle? They open their composition with fresh splashes of citrus fruits (lemon and bergamot), sprinkled with spicy pepper. A rather unexpected bold start is complemented by tart juniper berries. It sets the entire composition with a coniferous fougere tone.
At the heart of the perfume pyramid, there are pine needles that sound very solemn thanks to incense. Powdery iris rounds them out and makes them feminine. The base trail flows with sandalwood and amber accords, with the addition of warm and sweet vanilla notes. As you can see, the perfume pyramid is not bulky, but at the same time it is not simple. The authors successfully weaved together masculine and feminine ingredients to create the perfect unisex fragrance.
Byredo Gypsy Water: A perfume line from a user's point of view
Noses of average people almost neverfeel no citrus. They are probably overshadowed by juniper. All users claim that for them the composition is revealed by powerful coniferous chords, which change a little over time. Perhaps it is pine needles that come to the aid of juniper berries? These sharp chords are softened by sandalwood, which envelops and warms in soft waves.
The effect of an expensive men's cologne lasts only a fraction of a second. The soft, feminine powdery iris and sweet vanilla emerge almost immediately. It feels powerful, but not sugary-sweet, and not like pastries from a pastry shop, but like a flower - gently, vibrating. Vanilla remains until the very end, and incense, amber and pepper are mixed in softly and delicately, very beautifully. Many reviews mention the haze of expensive cigars, although tobacco was not mentioned by the manufacturer in the list of ingredients. Users also hear some aquatic notes of water lily (which evokes thoughts of a forest lake), as well as sweet tangerine.
How the composition unfolds
In reviews of Gypsy Water Byredo, buyers report that perfumes always change in a very interesting way. Either coniferous-tangerine notes appear more, giving rise to nostalgia for the New Year, or mystical incense comes to the fore. And then suddenly it smells of feminine tender iris, and immediately sprinkles with a handful of black pepper. Sometimes, especially in warm weather, waves of vanilla roll in with a subtle smell of smoke.
Amber, amber, like in Molecule 02, and warm sandalwood, warmed by the Indian sun, appear from time to time. These sweet woody smells will not have time for youget bored, as pine needles and tart juniper berries are again mixed with them. In a word, the composition is constantly changing, playing, then flashes, then fades away, like a gypsy disposition, emotional and freedom-loving. This perfume seems complex, expensive, despite the rather small list of ingredients.
For whom "Gypsy Water" was created
The description of Byredo Gypsy Water is such that it seems that this composition is suitable only for lovers of fougere woody scents. But the target audience of "Gypsy Water" is wider. Mischievous citrus notes in the overture of the composition are quite youthful. But yesterday's schoolgirls are still not recommended to wear this perfume. Most users agreed that perfume would be more appropriate to sit on an accomplished, self-confident lady (some even say that on a burning brunette).
She is in her early thirties or early thirties, confident, determined and brave enough to take risks. Since this fragrance is “unisex”, it will sit equally well on an established man. This is not a businessman, and even if he is a business person, he is not devoid of sentimentality, a thirst for adventure and freethinking. You can present this perfume to the representatives of the older generation of both sexes. Pepper, vanilla and sandalwood bring a retro feel to the composition.
Time for fragrance
As for the time of day - when to wear Byredo Parfums Gypsy Water - users are unanimous in the reviews. Of course, this is a daytime fragrance. For the evening it is worth choosingsomething more glamorous, solemn, constrained by secular conventions. "Gypsy Water" is too spontaneous and free-thinking to be at court at a dinner party or in a theater. But for wearing to the office - that's it.
The eau de parfum has a train, but not royal, filling the whole room, but the length of an outstretched hand. The fragrance is unobtrusive, ever-changing, creating a positive mood. Like the owner and others. As for the seasons, when the composition reveals itself especially well, users break spears in the heat of a dispute. Some believe that sandalwood and vanilla are wonderfully warm in winter. Others - and most of them - argue that in the cold, coniferous chords come first, prickly and cold, which suit only men, but not ladies.
There is also no unanimity of opinion about summer socks. Vanilla in the heat is too suffocating, intoxicating, it makes my head hurt. But the off-season (spring and autumn), without exception, consumers consider the most successful time for this perfume.
Design
All perfumes of the Bairedo brand are sold in exactly the same bottles. This is a feature of Ben Gorham, who is deeply convinced that the content is important, not the form. The bottles are utterly concise and resemble pharmaceutical vials. But don't be fooled by this minimalism: each bottle is made from heavy, clear glass. And the black round cap is attached with a magnet, which is very convenient.
All the labels on the bottles of Bairedo perfumes are the same: a white paper rectangle, on which, without any curlicues and monograms, are written: the name of the brand, the name of the perfume,its concentration and country of manufacture. Thus, on the bottle of our fragrance it says: Byredo Parfums, Gypsy Water, eau de parfum, made in France. Nevertheless, brand products are well protected from fakes. The glass bottom of the bottle distinguishes the original from the counterfeit. The batch code is laser-etched there, and it is he who testifies to the authenticity of the perfume.
What flavors does Gypsy Water look like
This perfume is very unique, a full comparison with other perfumes is difficult. In addition, on representatives of different sexes (and on owners of cold or hot skin), it manifests itself in different ways. However, users often compare Byredo Gypsy Water with Hiris Hermes. This is probably because orris root sounds more powerful on hot female skin. But men often compare "Gypsy Water" with the "Africa Ball" of the same house "Bairedo".
But it should be said that perfumers do not repeat themselves. The citrus and woody notes in African Baloo are heavier and more tropical. By the way the aroma of "Gypsy Water" is individually revealed on the skin, users have every right to compare it with "Molecules". Men in this perfume like coniferous dominant, seasoned with expensive sandalwood with incense smoke. But many women, especially those with cold skin, found Gypsy Water too masculine. In their opinion, the perfume reminds them of the men's cologne "Forest".
Other qualities of "Gypsy Water"
The concentration in which Byredo Gypsy Water is produced is eau de parfum. Persistence, as for perfumery water, is normal for Bairedo perfumes. This is provided that you purchased the original, and not a fake. Many users said that they were very upset that they enjoyed the fragrance for half an hour or forty minutes, after which it disappeared without the slightest trace. Authentic fragrance contains amber to hold the scent.
The original is persistent, however, by the end of the day all the ingredients seem to melt, and only vanilla and sandalwood remain true to the owner. Unlike other creations of the house "Biredo", such as "Tulip" or "Spirit of the Mojave Desert", "Gypsy Water" has a short train. Byredo Gypsy Water fragrance sits close to the skin in both sexes. It is probably intended only for the owner and for those whom he allows to approach him at arm's length.
Is this gypsy water?
In the Slavic mentality, Roma are associated with soothsayers and sorcerers. But there is nothing mystical about Gypsy Water. Is that this perfume water is very fond of gold jewelry. If you wear a chain or earrings made of this metal, the aroma clings to them with a stranglehold. But the idea, the olfactory image of gypsies from Ben Gorham is completely different. This is the smell of the earth, dusty travel roads, coniferous forests and smoke from a fire.
Byredo Parfums Gypsy Water does not convey the restless, passionate, jealous gypsy soul at all. On the contrary, as some users have put it, they exude Olympian serenity. But does a truly free person have to be nervous? Yes, many users note that the fragrance energizes with positive and generates a suitcasemood”, especially in the spring, on the eve of the holidays.
Practicality
The volumes in which Byredo perfumes are produced, and in particular Byredo Gypsy Water, are 100 ml, 50 and 2. These miniatures - users note - are very convenient. It smells different on the blotter than it does on the skin. Therefore, if you are not sure that the perfume will suit you, although you liked the description of the pyramid, order yourself such a sampler. It is inexpensive, and many users have a whole collection of miniatures from Bairedo.
The bottle in which the fragrance is released is very practical. The cap in it is magnetic, it does not just open, which allows you to carry the bottle in a cosmetic bag or purse. Of course, the bottle does not look chic, but given that this is a unisex perfume, it suits the strong half of humanity quite well. The bottle is supplied with a spray bottle. One zilch is quite economical, literally a drop of liquid is consumed. Therefore, the spirits are enough for a long time.
General reviews
In most cases, users really liked Gypsy Water Byredo Eau de Parfum. In reviews, some women admit that they keep the fragrance “for themselves” and use it at home, as it drives away the autumn blues. Indeed, perfumes charge with positive and citrus energy, and coniferous-juniper notes evoke nostalgia either for walks in the forest, or for the New Year.
Some women consider the fragrance not unisex, but masculine. But they also admit that he is veryextraordinary, interesting, and coniferous and sandalwood chords do not slide into primitivism. The only negative that users mention in the reviews is a very short train. Perhaps the perfume is intended only for the owner and his inner circle? Perfume is liked by representatives of all age categories without exception. Young people find the fragrance very modern, while older generations love the classic sandalwood-vanilla accords.
