Byredo Gypsy Water Eau De Parfum

Byredo Gypsy Water Eau De Parfum was launched in 2008 as a unisex fragrance that celebrates the romanticism of Romani culture and the allure of a life led in freedom and connection with nature. This fragrance is an olfactory narrative of campfires in the woods, starry skies, and the scent of pine needles underfoot. It is designed to evoke the nomadic spirit, the tranquility of the forest, and the quiet intensity of a life lived on one’s own terms.

The scent opens with a vibrant and fresh blend of bergamot, lemon, juniper berries, and pepper. This initial burst is crisp and exhilarating—lemon and bergamot add a sunny, citrusy brightness, while juniper berries introduce a cool, aromatic facet that feels like a brisk walk through evergreen woods. The pepper lends a gentle heat to balance the citrus, giving the top notes an energetic yet grounded quality.

At its heart, Gypsy Water unfolds into a mystical blend of incense, orris, and pine needle. The smoky softness of incense mingles with the powdery elegance of orris root, while pine needle reinforces the fragrance’s connection to the outdoors. This heart phase is atmospheric and earthy, conjuring images of flickering flames, whispering winds, and quiet reflection beneath tall trees.

The base is built on the warm and comforting harmony of amber, sandalwood, and vanilla. Amber delivers a rich, resinous sweetness that deepens the experience, while sandalwood provides a smooth, creamy woodiness. Vanilla wraps it all together with a gentle sweetness that lingers on the skin, giving the dry-down a sensual, enveloping quality that is both cozy and quietly luxurious.
