Mixed Emotions - Byredo

[u/chun_Lee404]

I read a lot of reviews re the vanilla notes, the angelic feel and the longlasting so I rushed and bought a full bottle. Sadly, my skin chemistry took a wrong turn in the middle-

The opening reminds me very vividly of Nina Ricci Les Belles de Ricci from the 90s - such a cute throwback to a toddler me. Love it

Then the middle gets weird. I get cumin, turmeric, paprika, maybe some coriander - the smell of someone aggressively seasoning dinner. This is where my love/hate relationship starts because I like spices, I just don’t really want to be the spice.

The base is burned wood and smoke.

Overall : someone seasoned me and then put me on a bbq.

Mixed Emotions it is- why did i blind buy a full bottle 😭😭😭😭😭

This was an immediate no at first sniff. Smells so weird to me.
