  It smells like a cheap copy of Goutal’s Ambre Fetiche. I’m disgusted by fragrances that shamelessly copy other masterpieces. This 1996 has that typical dirty residue from the brand that makes it crude and poorly finished. I give it a 1 out of charity.

  I couldn’t agree with you less, mate. In any fragrance house, there might always be something similar or reminiscent, but that doesn’t mean it’s a copy. In my opinion, Byredo neither needs nor benefits from copying other perfumes. One can give an opinion, but always from a place of respect and without belittling.

  It bears the name of a photo by Inez and Vinoodh featuring a girl of the Lolita type. You’d expect something youthful, fruity, and sweet based on the shine in the image, but it’s the exact opposite: intense, persistent, and unisex. It smells of leather and dusty violet; to me, it smells like a convent, damp wood, and incense, nothing like the photo. It’s different from the other Byredos and so far is the one I like the most; it deserves the 140 euros. It was a limited edition for clients and is now on the fixed shelf, surely there’s a reason for it.

  This perfume has a curious name based on a photo signed by Inez and Vinoodh. The photo is called Kirsten 1996 and shows a young girl who reminds one of Lolita from Nabokov. It’s supposed to be an olfactory capture of that moment, just like the image. Based on this, one expects a youthful, girly scent; the lipstick shine in the photograph suggests something fruity, sweet, and fresh. Nothing could be further from the truth; it’s an intense, persistent aroma and totally unisex. Among its notes, leather and violet stand out, giving it a dusty air. To me, it smells like a convent: wood, dampness, and church incense (even though it’s not listed). Nothing like what the image suggests, at least to me. Of course, it’s different from all the Byredos I’ve heard of and so far is the one I like the most and deserves the 140 euros they ask for. It was a limited edition to gift to clients and ended up on the fixed shelf, I say there must be a reason for that.

  To me, this perfume is a well-made floral chypre. It has a certain incisive character from the patchouli, very aromatic, evolving into an amber with iris that makes it dry and unisex, leaning more towards the masculine side. It smells wonderful, but the patchouli note can be a bit overwhelming. It’s an adult perfume, with a rigid air and perfect for cold temperatures with elegant style. Better not to buy blindly. The patchouli note might not suit a young person with a sporty or informal style. A decent perfume.

  What a rich and incredible scent. I absolutely love this totally unisex profile. While walking around Madrid, I stumbled into Byredo by chance; the assistant told me they didn’t have any bottles because they were planning to discontinue it. I already knew I’d like it, as I’m always drawn to lost causes. Luckily I picked it up at ECI and bought it on the spot. Now I’m conflicted because I researched the photo it’s ‘inspired’ by and it looks like a boring manual, which is problematic. That’s why they’ve stopped putting the girl’s photo on the packaging. It started by sending it to ‘select clients’ and then they had to make it permanent, well, it’s all very murky. The downside is I want to wear it all the time, and since it’s discontinued, it’s a real treasure.
