The story of Byredo
Why choose the sample size?
Choosing a perfume sample is the best way to discover a fragrance without taking a risk. Unlike a full bottle, the sample size lets you test a perfume over several days, see how it develops on your skin and check that it really suits your style. It is also an ideal way to explore a wide selection of niche perfumes and major brands at a lower cost. Practical, affordable and commitment-free, a perfume sample helps you make an informed choice before investing in a larger size.
Tips for use
The secret to longer wear
For your perfume to really last, start by moisturising your skin. Apply an unscented lotion, wait two to three minutes, then spray. Moisturised skin holds the fragrance, from the first accord to the last base notes.
The connoisseur's tip
Fabrics hold perfume even better than skin. A light spray on a scarf or a coat is enough: the sillage lingers for several days and comes back to life with every movement.
