Community Sentiment Pulse — Sellier
Positive26 opinions · Source: r/fragrance community
7.8
/10
The r/fragrance community views Sellier very positively as a sophisticated smoky-woody fragrance with impressive longevity, though many acknowledge it as a superior but considerably more expensive alternative to By the Fireplace. The main criticism centers on Byredo's unjustifiable $300+ price tag for what some consider basic minimalist packaging, making it aspirational rather than accessible for most collectors.
Positive
- Smooth, refined smoky and woody profile
- Excellent longevity (8+ hours on skin)
- Superior alternative to By the Fireplace for some wearers
- Intriguing drydown with leather and tobacco notes
Negative
- Extremely high price point ($300+ for 50ml)
- Minimalist packaging doesn't justify premium cost
- Spicy opening note may not appeal to everyone
- Mixed opinions on similarity to other fragrances like Santal 33
