Details & care

What it is: Gypsy Water Absolu reimagines the signature scent with unexpected and uniquely compelling spicy facets and heightening the signature warm woody dimension, paying tribute to the raw freedom of impermanence and the beauty of life in motion.

Fragrance story: Black pepper introduces a spicy contrast to sparkling bergamot and aromatic pine needles. At the heart, creamy orris butter is amplified by carrot seed for earthy warmth, while incense absolute adds smoky diffusion. At the base, vanilla absolute, white suede and ambroxan envelop the senses in a lingering amber-woody sillage. The Absolu de Parfum is held in a redesigned bottle, an homage to craftsmanship. Embodying the deep intensity and transformation, the textured cap, inspired by Yakisugi, the Japanese art of charring wood, opens to reveal the silver and gold atomizer spray, complementing the bottles elemental design and the clean curves of the glass that shows the intense color of the fragrance within.

Style: Woody, aromatic.

Notes:
- Top: bergamot, black pepper, pine needles absolute
- Middle: orris butter, carrot seeds, incense absolute
- Base: vanilla absolute, white suede, ambroxan

Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The scent is very nice and pleasant! It is not too strong and very woody/outdoors. The scent lasts throughout the day and I don’t find myself having to reapply.

Nothing like the original

I have been waiting for this to come out and blind bought it online immediately. It is not good. It doesn’t smell close the original Gypsy Water. I hoped this would be a stronger and longer lasting version of that. It’s not. It’s completely different. It’s way more masculine and heavy on the suede and spice. I’m super disappointed in this. I offered it to my husband but he did not like it either. Unfortunately I was impatient and purchased from another retailer and am unable to return it. Lesson learned! Sample first!!

Shockingly Dissappointing

Had been waiting for this release as I am a big fan of the original, and have always thought if reworked it had the potential to be something exquisitely sexy and amplified to its core fragrance profile. That being said, this isn't even identifiable as having influence of the original Gypsy Water. The opening is aggressively ambiguous, overpowered perhaps by the incense in the fragrance-- it does get sweeter but by then the shock of its initial onset has deterred the mood to continue the scent. It also has the meat/beefy undertone scent that a couple other BYREDO scents have (Rodeo, Mixed Emotions) which was disappointed to discover. This could be someone's favorite, and is unique to say the least but as an absolu to the iconic Gypsy Water in my opinion It totally missed not only the mark but a huge opportunity to celebrate its origination and resolidify its legacy. Shame.

horrible fragrance!

This fragrance has NOTHING to do with the OG which is a green/woody/aromatic vanilla with a poor performance. What a disappointment this has been! The combination of strong notes like pine, suede, and incense with black pepper ruined this , making it way too masculine.

Stay forever!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this perfume is super strong and also stay on your clothes for days. I feel the smell is more for go out nights or some special occasion, definitely o for every day. I’m really sensitive with smells and this one gives me a little bit of headache. Smells kind of sweet/woody and I feel it more for winter-fall season

light incense scent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i can see why this perfume is well known and talked about from byredo! i personally would not wear it, as it is too incense forward for me, but it is still light to wear daily

Incredible

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gypsy water absolu is such an interesting scent, it's definitely unisex and on me it pulls very smokey... like a campfire in the forest with burning incense in the background. I dislike perfumes that pull very artificial and alcohol like so I love that this one is so realistic. It reminds me of stepping into a church after camp and being surrounded by burning candles and incense. The vanilla really balances everything out and makes it so the scent isn't so bitter- it's not sweet on me but also not bitter. I believe I smell a hint of bergamot which I personally love, it gives this such a woody unique depth. I will say you do need to spray alot to make it last all day but I don't mind since it's able to be layered and doesn't give me a headache.

My favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of my favorite fragrances of all time. It’s sweet without being sickening. I love the lemon. It keeps it fresh and it’s just so beautiful on skin. I don’t think I’ve ever come across anyone that doesn’t like this fragrance. For me personally at last all day, and I love layering with this fragrance in particular.

FAVORITE PERFUME EVER!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easily my new favorite brand of perfume. This perfume sent me on a search on a work trip to LA to the store to go smell all the scents from Byredo! I ended up buying two full sized bottles of this perfume brand. I am so in love with this band and the Absolu line sits beautifully on the skin and lasts for much longer than an Eau De Parfum. Could not recommend this more.

Citrus woody luxury

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gypsy water absolu is an amazing fragrance. It brings nice citrus notes and mixes them with some warmer woody notes to bring together this luxurious clean scent. It’s a perfect fragrance for cooler weather and is a perfect addition to any collection.

Beautiful deep perfume scent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has a deep scent that is better for nighttime use. It does last a decent amount of time. You could definitely use for a date night. It didn't fully fit me personally but it is a lovely scent.
