Pros & Cons
- ✅ This is the best Byredo by a landslide. it's unique, aromatic, it's something I have never smelt in my entire life.
- ✅ Gorgeous earthy leather scent, sweet and dark, juniper prominent from start.
- ✅ 1996 is less a fragrance, more a late-night confession in a dimly lit gallery—violet, leather, a trace of regret, and the unmistakable scent of someone who’s already left the room.
- ✅ THIS is the best Byredo by a landslide. it's unique, aromatic, it's something I have never smelt in my entire life.
- ✅ Not a heavy leather, more powdery and creamy with that beautiful Byredo DNA. Instant love and wishlist
- ✅ Byredo 1996 feels less like a fragrance and more like stepping into a photograph that already has a story attached to it.
- ✅ My favorite Byredo...sexy, cool, strong, long lasting, ICONIC.
- ✅ FULL BOTTLE WORTHY. Complex. Heavily resinous - yet wearable. Slightly green, perfectly sweet. Distractingly addictive.
- ❌ One of the most disappointing fragrances from Byredo. Reeks of plastic, medicinal and putrid notes.
- ❌ It doesn't smell bad, but I don't want to smell like this. Too leathery.
- ❌ The scent felt so thick and resinous. Smelled like if you took butterscotch with a bag of makeup and mixed them.
- ❌ Leather and juniper berries, and some pine needles. Fine but not one of my favorite from Byredo.
- ❌ This is such an odd blend - the orris and violet give it a slight powdery and comforting opening, but leather comes quickly and it settles into a strong leather forward scent. Not for me.
- ❌ The scent felt so thick and resinous. Smelled like if you took butterscotch with a bag of makeup and mixed them. Big pass.
