Directions for use
The secret to long-lasting wear
To ensure your perfume truly lasts, start by moisturizing your skin. Apply an unscented cream, wait two to three minutes, then spray. Hydrated skin holds the fragrance molecules, from the top notes to the last base notes.
The connoisseur's tip
Textiles hold perfume even better than skin. A light spray on a scarf or coat is enough; the scent will last for several days and reactivate with every movement.
The story of Byredo
Why choose the sample format?
Choosing a perfume sample is the best way to discover a fragrance without taking any risks. Unlike a classic bottle, the sample format allows you to test a perfume over several days, see how it evolves on your skin, and verify that it truly matches your style. It's also an ideal solution for exploring a wide selection of niche or major brand perfumes at a lower cost. Practical, economical, and without commitment, a perfume sample helps you make an informed choice before investing in a larger size.
