Byredo Parfums Gypsy Water EDP

Description

Byredo Gypsy Water is a fresh-woody scent that captures a starry night in the wilderness: crisp juniper and citrus drifting over warm sandalwood, vanilla, and a wisp of incense.

Composed by perfumer Jérôme Epinette for the Stockholm house of Byredo and launched in 2008, Gypsy Water has become one of the brand's most beloved signatures. Reviewers consistently describe it as unlike anything else on the market: an understated, elegant scent that pairs the cool bite of pine and juniper with a soft, comforting drydown. Equally at home on men and women.
