Community Sentiment Pulse — Young Rose
Mixed27 opinions · Source: r/fragrance community
6.5
/10
Young Rose is widely praised for its beautiful, fresh juicy rose scent with a distinctive peppery top note, making it a strong office fragrance. However, the community consensus is that poor longevity and weak projection significantly detract from its value, especially given the premium Byredo price point—many recommend applying to clothing or layering with body products to extend wear time.
Positive
- Beautiful, fresh scent with juicy rose character
- Light and inoffensive - great for office wear
- Unique peppery opening that distinguishes it from typical powdery roses
- Pleasant on clothing with longer lasting base notes (ambrette and musk)
Negative
- Poor longevity on skin - fades within 30 minutes to 1 hour
- Expensive for the performance offered
- Not innovative or unique compared to other Byredo releases
- Weak projection - difficult to detect on others nearby
