BYREDO

After traveling to his mother's hometown in India, BYREDO founder Ben Gorham became intrigued by scent and memory. Mentored by world-renowned perfumers, he started his line of luxury fragrances in Stockholm in 2006, focusing on raw, high-quality ingredients. Today, BYREDO candles, perfumes and more are known as much for their minimalist, stylistic packaging as they are for their irresistible scents.

divine

I’ve been using the fragrance from Byredo for some time and recently decided to add a lotion to my collection. It’s divine, smells exactly as the perfume. Wasn’t sure I needed it but I’m so glad I got it, really good.

Overpriced

Of course, this lotion is luxurious and smells amazing! However, I didn't consider when ordering that 7 oz is actually quite small, especially for the price. I think I will save it and use it for only my hands, but it definitely is a very expensive product.

Long-lasting smell, not moisturizing

The scent lasted on my skin until the next day BUT poor moisturizer. My skin was so dry just hours after application. Buy it for the lasting fragrance, not for the lotion!

Love Byredo

I love Byredo products. This one does not disappoint. My only criticism would be the bottle as it can be a little bit tricky to get.out. I think would be better with a dispenser pump. Anyway this is a stunning scent not too heavy and not too thick. It’s great as a base layer to add your favourite perfume. I don’t use it everyday as it’s expensive. It does feel luxurious and I would recommend.
