Top 5 BYREDO Fragrances!

[@desertfox432]

You're good at this. I like your method of how it's just under 6 minutes very thorough, and out of personal experience.

[@CascadeScents]

Thank you so much! I try! =]

[@OriginalMindTrick]

My favourite is Sunday Cologne and I have sampled most of them. It's a classy gentleman's scent like you've been out sailing on the weekend and come back to the office and told your secretary to make you a nice hot cup of tea type of thing.

[@wwade2169]

I love how you said that Mojave Ghost "Doesn't smell like anything else out there", but as soon as I smelled it the first time I instantly thought "Marc Jacobs - Daisy". That was my ex girlfriend's daily scent. Mojave Ghost is just a more unisex version although it will still be way to fem for many guys.

[@Bapi633]

Dear Manny, great reviews. Thanks a ton. I think the longevity of Bal d'Afrique is less for a EDP- 6 hrs maximum, the sillage is also not great, mostly close to the skin. It's a shame that such a beautiful fragrance comes with such low projection and comparatively less longevity. I haven't tested other four Byredo releases, I'd comment only after I use it. Great job, keep it up.

[@CascadeScents]

Thanks for the kind words, Hossain. And yeah, Bal D'Afrique is such a crowd-friendly scent that you'd want to have perform, but it can't, hahahaha. Oh well. Salute! =]

[@lizs1passion]

I knew ur filipino!!! I am on a fragrance kick right now and is venturing into niche fragrances and byredo is definitely on my list to try. I have been enjoying ur vids! Astig!

[@ACSmellsGood]

Hey Many, great review list and I own decants all of these and agree with your evaluation. If you like gypsy water that much I highly recommend you try Diptyque Eau Duelle, its gypsy water taken to another level.

[@CascadeScents]

I like Eau Duelle too! I may pick it up in the future. Thank you for the kind words! =]

[@TheTripleBway]

Thanks for your take on these Manny.

[@MrLukeChristian]

You're so good at your reviews, and I love Byredo fragrances! You definitely have a knack for persuading me to try out more, and I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos!

[@CascadeScents]

Hi Mr. Luke! Yeah, it's easy to be "good" if you are passionate about the product or subject matter at hand, haha. So thank you for the kind words, and I hope you enjoy some of these picks in real life. Keep up the great work yourself! =]

[@MrSmelly1977]

Enjoyed this rundown. I like the sound of some of these. Thanks Manny.

[@CascadeScents]

Thanks as always, Dan. Would love to watch how you feel about some of these. Salute, brother. =]

[@scenttrails2703]

My personal favorite from the house, so far, is Accord Oud

[@quinntan7765]

BAL D'AFRIQUE and MOJAVE GHOST are my favourite two too :)

[@zvikaso]

I have BDA and Accord Oud. Beautiful. I'm gonna get GW soon (probably this coming black friday). Very nice house.

[@shardie78239]

I’m glad to se your choice, I have afric, but it’s just not a bold scent, more wood than spice. I’m going to look at Mugler, I don’t have any and I hear good things.

[@robertod893]

Mojave Ghost, Rose of No Man’s Land, Gypsy Water, Black Saffron and Eleventh Hour 👌🏼

[@aaron_luke96]

Yeah!!! Another video! I'm really interested in this brand, but I don't know of any places that have this brand in NYC. I really want to try these out.

[@CascadeScents]

Hey Aaron! I know Barneys for sure does. Thanks for asking, brother. Enjoy! =]

[@timothyjohn9412]

I love PULP!! Amazing feel to it.. It does give me some sort of synthetic quality. I've read that some think it smells spoiled.. Amazing juice with incredible longevity!! I also love Black Saffron!! Amazing stuff.

[@CascadeScents]

Some people find Pulp to be reminiscent of rotten fruits, and I can see that, but I still think it's a great scent. Black Saffron is also nice too! Thanks for commenting, Timothy. =]

[@landshark321]

Great list! I'm wearing Baudelaire today and have tried BDA and OI before but still need to try GW and MG, and am looking forward to trying both more now after having seen your reviews!

[@zaquan5553]

I just love all of their scents. They are all really unique

[@i2uby_]

I haven't smelled Baudalaire and I'm not a fan of oud, but your top 3 picks are my top three picks. The only difference is coming into fourth place, I'd put Blanche and fifth, Black Saffron.

[@christopherleocadio7260]

I love your reviews and looking forward to more videos soon. I am from the Philippines and hope to get those perfumes once I saved money to buy it. Good luck with your next videos.

[@RaciocinioPlease]

Hi there, awesome review, I wonder if you have changed your opinion on this, I know Byredo is HIGH quality but I wonder if this is STILL a great smelling fragrance, something almost everybody will understand and love from the first sniff, something easygoing....I am looking for great smelling stuff which are not challenging like Encre Noire, Montale black oud, and stuff like that...I would have to blind it buy, that why I am asking if it indeed smells great, similar to something else...? thanks a lot

[@anythingeverything8588]

Black Saffron and Velvet Haze rocks as well bro

[@helloparis1531]

Great choices. I'd definitely say Bal d'Afrique and Baudelaire are up there as my favorites!

[@CascadeScents]

I've been rocking Baudelaire a lot lately, and it's a compliment magnet somehow. Can't believe it, hahaha. And Bal D'Afrique is simply gorgeous, yeah! Thanks for the kind words, Kim! =]

[@m_requiem5267]

love my gypsy water & black saffron..going to get mojave ghost very soon.

[@roirotary4871]

Hi, Manny. Which Byredo juice lasts longest in your list? Thanks, awesome review,bro...

[@CascadeScents]

Mojave Ghost lasts the longest for me but that's partially because it's a slightly warmer weather juice, so it won't dissipate as fast. See 2:30. Thanks for asking, Roi. Salute. =]

[@victoria8897]

Bal D ‘afrique and Mojave ghost is on My top list !!!! 😘❤️

[@suzannetaylor6285]

Mine too ♥️

[@dexxxhunt]

What's poppin Manny?LOL...I'm gonna have to agree with Patrick!It's a given gypsy water was gonna top your list man.You been biggin up GW since I discovered your page.Don't blame you though fam,it's a mad solid frag.My top 5 Byredo's in no particular order...Accord Oud,Oliver Peoples,Oud Immortel,Black Saffron,last is a toss up between Mojave Ghost & Gypsy Water probably.Right on though man,another great vid!Big up/Peace/Bless

[@CascadeScents]

Hey, fam! Oliver Peoples x BYREDO is really solid too, in my opinion. Great choices all around! Thanks as always for the kind words, and for commenting. Salute! =]

[@saltsman3673]

what's with the bags hung up on the wall

[@GM-tu7di]

New to your channel but so glad I found you! Super content ❤️ hope to try Byredo soon...pretty pricey, so haven’t yet...but now I know where to start!

[@1manairband]

Helps yes, i blind bought Mojave Ghost and it’s not my favorite scent. I have a sample of Gypsy Water and that is more like what I like.

[@waltherP99BG]

Own 3 Byredo fragrances and i was expecting at least one of them to be in your top 5 , but i guess our taste is a bit different. My top 3 in no particular order 1.Bullion 2.Pulp 3.Accord Oud

[@CascadeScents]

Yeah, we definitely have different tastes for sure! But those scents are worthy of any top BYREDO list though! I personally want to revisit Pulp myself! Thanks for commenting! =]

[@waltherP99BG]

Are you familiar with Bullion and Accord Oud ? Give us your thoughts if you are. Pulp is a bit of a hit or miss fragrance-for some (~25%) it smells a bit dirty with added rotten fruit , but it works for me.At the same time i HATE BIG TIME Terre d'Hermes for the same reason-smells like pile of rotten oranges to me.

[@CascadeScents]

Sorry to hear about how you feel for Terre D'Hermès! I think it's more like oranges thrown in dirt and roots, but it comes off as clean. And I'd be reaching if I could break those down right now. I'd have to revisit them, sorry!

[@DJGenki]

About Mojave Ghost, fragrantica says the sillage isn't that good but I've seen you say it's amazing . Do you think it projects outward decently in moderate sprays?

[@msbarnes1281]

I own La Tulipe and Pulp. I love them and want more from the house. Pulp is one of the most unique scents out.

[@CascadeScents]

Pulp is definitely one of the most unique fruity scents, and La Tulipe is an awesome take on tulip! I'd love to revisit both. Thanks as always for commenting! =]

[@Kangarooblue2903]

I bought the Oud Immortel yesterday. Love it!!

[@SaurabhKumar-nt7iy]

Bro! I feel 'Oud Immortel' makes oud wearable in such a creative and fresh way. I had a similar sentiment while trying TF Oud Wood the fist time. Thanks for the review. In terms of longevity, is it safer to buy a 50 ml 'Oud Immortel' as opposed to 100 ml. Lemme know.

[@otis83]

Great list and review, Manny! Thanks.

[@CascadeScents]

Thank you so much! =]

[@jackienanit7299]

CascadeScents hi please help me can’t decide Which is better pulp or mojave ghost ?

[@alyssarrie]

BdA is my absolute FAVE. its insanely beautiful. i def have to give gypsy water another try! what are your opinions on their hair perfume, if you own any? ive heard they last quite a long time, compared to the EDPs, but dont know if its worth it to buy a hair perfume when i could just buy the actual perfume instead.... would love to hear your opinion!

[@odinisyourfather4933]

Alyssa Medina BdA is also my absolute favorite, such a beautiful and pleasent scent.I received my gipsy water and pulp samples and i have to say, not even close to bda. I prefer Pulp over Gypy. Gypsy is very boring in my opinion and doesn't stay 2 hours on my skin.But order some samples and try it out. sorry for my bad english.

[@CascadeScents]

I heard some of their hair perfumes last longer than their actual EDPs, haha. I'll definitely give them a shot one day, and I'll let you and everyone else know how it goes when I do. =] Thank you for commenting, Alyssa! Bal D'Afrique FTW! =]

[@CascadeScents]

Also with Gypsy Water, I get very good longevity with it when I use unscented lotion beforehand onto where I spray it. I have a review on the EDP version of it if you have a chance. =]

[@91smalik]

mojave ghosts or gypsy water? (keeping in the mind i really care about a frag's performance)

[@CascadeScents]

For me and for most people, Mojave Ghost destroys Gypsy Water in the performance department, both in longevity and projection. However, if you haven't heard me talk about Gypsy Water before, I personally would choose it over Mojave Ghost, or most other scents for that matter. Gypsy Water is less linear and more interesting to me as far as stages, plus it is more versatile, and it features some of my favourite notes. But I'd test either of these in real life and go off of your own analysis, especially when I prefer the consensus lesser performer and you prefer better performers. Have fun. =]

[@MonicaElleValenzuela]

Hi! Wondering if you can help me, one of my favorite perfumes is discontinued “Belenciaga B. Paris”, so sad. Wondering if you would know another perfume that smells similar. To my nose it opens up fresh and green, as if you walked into the section where they are selling Christmas trees, very fresh sweet pine, even if that’s not in the notes description lol. And it dries down light soft powdery musk. Any suggestions would be awesome! This quarantine time has given me time to look for a new signature scent. Thanks!

[@tbonejhr]

I ADORE Gypsy Water! and I also LOVE Mohave!

[@avalanche9142]

My favorite is Black Saffron

[@iceperez6661]

Can you suggest a more manly scent? Not the unisex one.

[@itskyyuuuu]

Have you tried bullion? Plum and leather... sounded interesting but ive never seen it anywhere

[@HieuNguyen-ws9ry]

So with the 5 fragrances that you just recommended which one do you think will keep the smell stay the longest than the others in the day pls tell me one hahah thanks :))

[@CascadeScents]

Mojave Ghost, Baudelaire, and Oud Immortel in that order for me.

[@swcblad]

always love amber/vanille

[@91smalik]

just what i was looking for on youtube :D thanks for the vid man! (Y)

[@CascadeScents]

You're welcome, Shehroz. Thanks for the kind words and enthusiasm! =]

[@jamespawelek-lacey1778]

What’s OG Tuscan Leather? I’ve got Tuscan Leather and it doesn’t last for me

[@martinmoore8216]

Thanks Manny more intriguing options to follow up. M

[@CascadeScents]

You're welcome, and thanks for watching, Martin! Salute, brother! =]

[@thatsnotmyname4091]

love this video!! and i love bal d'afrique hahaha

[@johnclark2958]

i picked up gypsy water and mojave ghost mostly ur push. i am mostly warm section south calif barstow ca, heck of a discount i go with that dude and lady on box it goes in trash can--- now i am a heat seeker. love love the smell that ghost is something else. g water just showed on 041318-- i hate blind buys---u have a great nose could not agree more.

[@FeelGreat___]

My top one still tobacco mandarin

[@vindicator75]

Bring back the Chanel bags in the background

[@stevenfranko2501]

Pretty dead on I must say.. I ended up buying Baudelaire but I must of sprayed too many other things.. When I got it home it just wasnt working for me.. Even like the oud immortal and I don't really like oud and I hate how almost everything has oud in it these days

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Love the Green

[@CascadeScents]

Thank you so much. My sister bought me this sweater for Christmas and I too am in love with it. =]

[@dongchenhan1060]

Hi Manny. Do u think a guy can pull gw off? Is it too faminine?

[@CascadeScents]

Am I not a guy then if it's my number one? Ugh. Anyone can pull it off, but stereotypically speaking as far as Western societal standards, it may lean feminine for some.

[@dongchenhan1060]

Thanks Manny. I just blind bought gypsy water and tambao today. I will come back when I get them.

[@CascadeScents]

Dongchen Han I am not an advocate of blind buying, and if you regret it, that's on you. Hope you enjoy them though. I like Tam Dao too, myself, =]

[@dongchenhan1060]

CascadeScents Hi Manny. I just receive Gypsy water 2 hour ago. I sprayed on paper and tested it. I've been keeping sniff for hours. I definitely love it. I do feel bit faminine though, but is not too much for me as a asian guy. So unique scent ever smelled. Thanks for your videos. Have good day.

[@CascadeScents]

You're welcome and thank you for the kind words. I hope you enjoy Gypsy Water! =]

[@osareme2462]

Can men wear these ?

[@usmellsgood]

Manny, is MMink being discontinued?

[@CascadeScents]

Good question, brother. From what I know, no. I haven't heard anything from any of the GTA BYREDO desks though. It's been at least a couple months since I've gone out to sniff BYREDOs in real life though. M/Mink is still alive and well on any version of BYREDO's official website, so I think it is safe from discontinuation for now. If you find out it is being discontinued, let me know though, please. :P

[@MarleyS5247]

Is it just me or does Bal D’Afrique remind anyone else of JPG Elixir? 🤔

[@walid47074]

I love Pulp!

[@vindicator75]

is mojave ghost the biggest crowd pleaser out of them all?

[@CascadeScents]

In my experience, yes, because it has a friendlier DNA over Oud Immortel and Baudelaire here, and it has better performance than Bal D'Afrique and Gypsy Water. But in case feedback is a main criteria for you, just like any other criteria like performance, scent development, or anything else like that, you have to find out for yourself. Especially with Mojave Ghost, because despite my "success" with it, it has garnered mixed results, historically speaking. So order a sample or test in-store if you get a chance. Hope this helps.

[@vindicator75]

Alright. Thanks man. I will try to check it out tomorrow.

[@KeemKiX]

BYREDO x Off-White: Elevator Music

[@thestrays6844]

Bal D'Afrique smells more like a woman's scent to me. I loved it on my girlfriend, however the longevity was too poor for it to be worth the higher price point.

[@CascadeScents]

That's fair. Love the scent for myself and a woman, but if the performance you get from it is a deal-breaker at its price point, I get that too. Thanks for commenting. =]

[@eugenegutierrez384]

I just bought gypsy water smells for good short time, but longevity very poor... dissapointed!!!!

[@StormFalcon61]

Pulp should have been no 1 bro Bal De Afrique no 2

[@ВладимирУшаков-к6ц]

I love velvet HAZE soooo

[@abood4477]

What about black saffron

[@h2008im]

Are there perfumes to imitate or look like? Mojave Ghost------- and Are there perfumes to imitate or look like? 1996

[@harsbaloch8975]

black saffron for men or women?

[@CascadeScents]

Short answer: both. =]

[@TheRealGally]

BOOOOOO GYPSY WATER IS TOO WATERY! Lolz. Jk man. Good take on the house of Byredo. I own BdA (currently selling decants), but I have sampled every other Byredo. I guess I'm into bolder fragrances, because these don't cut it on my dry highlander skin. What sucks is they do smell really nice on paper. Le sigh. C'est la vie.

[@CascadeScents]

Hey brother! For me, less is more to a certain extent because I don't want my fragrances to "shout" too much. BYREDO is also super-artistic and modern, and I'd like to think I am too to a certain degree, so I guess that is part of why I like them so much, haha. Real talk though, G-Water is watery and lemony AF off of paper. On my skin though, I get several stages and each of them are breathtaking for me. To each their own though. :P Thank you for commenting! =]

[@CascadeScents]

R W knows! Yeah, it's a compliment-grabber for me too if it is radiating off of my skin, otherwise it's average in that department. Great light, safe scent with so many layers though! #Godlike

[@kerrypope5896]

Pulp is my number one

[@CascadeScents]

Pulp is definitely a worthy top pick! =]

[@Markmaster_]

1996 ;)
