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

  I completely disagree with you on that, gelo. In any fragrance house, there might always be something that resembles or reminds you of another, 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 with respect and without belittling.

  It’s named after an Inez and Vinoodh photo featuring a Lolita-esque girl. You’d expect something youthful, fruity, and sweet based on the image, but it’s the opposite: intense, long-lasting, and unisex. It smells of leather and dusty violet; to me, it evokes a convent, wet wood, and incense—nothing like the photo. It’s different from the other Byredo scents and so far my favorite; it’s worth the 140 euros. It was a limited edition for clients but is now on the regular shelves, so there must be a reason for that.

  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 me of Lolita from Nabokov. It’s supposed to be an olfactory snapshot of that moment, just like the image. Based on this, one expects a youthful, girly scent; the lipstick on the photographed girl suggests something fruity, sweet, and fresh. Nowhere near the reality; it’s an intense, persistent, and totally unisex aroma. Among its notes, leather and violet stand out, giving it a powdery 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, and so far it’s the one I like the most and deserves the 140 euros they ask for. It was a limited edition meant to gift to clients and ended up on the permanent shelf, I guess there’s 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 iris amber that makes it dry and unisex, leaning more towards the masculine side. It smells great, but the patchouli note can be a bit overwhelming. It’s an adult perfume, with a rigid vibe, perfect for cold weather with an elegant style. Better not to buy it blindly. The patchouli note might not suit a young person with a sporty or informal style. A solid perfume.

  What a rich and incredible scent. I love that totally unisex profile. While walking around Madrid, I walked into Byredo and the girl told me they didn’t have bottles because they were discontinuing it. I already knew I’d like it because I’m a sucker for lost causes. Luckily, I found it at ECI and bought it on the spot. Now I have conflicts because I researched the inspiration photo and it looks like a manual PDF; it’s problematic, which is why they stopped putting that girl’s photo on the packaging. It all started by sending it to ‘select customers’ and then leaving it fixed, well, everything is very dark. The bad part is I want to wear it all the time, but since it’s discontinued, it’s a treasure.

  What a rich and incredible scent. I absolutely love this totally unisex profile. While walking around Madrid, I stumbled into Byredo by chance; the girl told me they didn’t have bottles because they were going to discontinue it. I already knew I’d like it—I’m always drawn to lost causes. Luckily, I caught it at ECI and bought it on the spot. Now I’m conflicted because I researched the photo that “inspires” it, and it looks like a boring manual PDF. It’s problematic, which is why they stopped putting the girl’s picture on the packaging. It started by sending it to “select clients” and then they had to make it permanent, well, everything is quite dark. The downside is I want to wear it all the time, and since it’s discontinued, it’s a real treasure.
