/ 10 community score
The community has mixed feelings about Byredo, with appreciation for their creative fragrances like Bal d'Afrique and Sundazed, but significant frustration over poor longevity and the brand's shift toward safe, commercial flankers following the Puig acquisition. Many beloved fragrances are being discontinued, disappointing loyal customers who cannot easily find alternatives.
