With it, it's always a bit of an on/off, but I actually like the Coconut Byredo :)

Wow - the For her ones just don’t work for me at all - I feel "stabbed" - they’re so sharp and unfriendly to me ;o(
Only the Narcisos themselves like me - the "offspring" not at all....

I find it amazing that in the end, there’s such a similarity to NRs for Her…

I found the brand to be rather weak so far...

Translated · Show original

Helena1411 3 years ago

I get along with the brand, but there are few truly outstanding fragrances among them...

Did you perceive it similarly?

Coconut doesn't have to.........

Here it's integrated in such a different way...

Unfortunately, this scent is just one of many Byredos that hasn't resonated with me. Coconut notes generally have a tough time with me anyway.

Translated · Show original

Helena1411 3 years ago

And exactly that note, when I tried to perceive the scent as a whole, I couldn't pick up anymore.

Unfortunately, it's not my brand either; but it does sound appealing.

For me, it actually smells very pleasant overall.

I like it too. I think the coconut water is very authentic. I placed it right next to it and sniffed them alternately.

Translated · Show original

Helena1411 3 years ago

Quite the opposite of many coconut scents with their extreme sweetness.

Strange olfactory changeling...

Coconut water with a straw is delicious, but without the earth, please :-)

Translated · Show original

Helena1411 3 years ago

But the earth is the highlight ;-)

Had to go again. I felt too dressed up with it.

The scent has to suit you; I know the feeling you're describing.

Coconut only works for me if it's woody. I'm usually out when it comes to the flesh. Although... it does sound nice!?

Translated · Show original

Helena1411 3 years ago

The coconut here is neither fruity nor sweet, but completely without sweetness and secondary to the patchouli.

I'm out as soon as there's coconut!

Translated · Show original

Helena1411 3 years ago

I actually only perceived it very subtly and completely without sweetness.

Musk is definitely NR's specialty.

Translated · Show original

Helena1411 3 years ago

They can do that if you like it in NR style.

I actually smell completely unsweet coconut water at the beginning, but mainly the balsamic spiciness of the ambrette seeds; then patchouli quickly joins in, not musty or cellar-like, but still damp. Musk softens everything.
And even though the pyramids are so different, it smells like NR for her. Really very similar, just a bit earthier. I like it a lot!
