Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Desert Dawn

Divisive and somewhat derivative, Desert Dawn offers an airy, woody musk that leaves some craving more, and others wholly underwhelmed. Expect comparisons to other Byredo offerings and the infamous 'pickle note' - you'll either love its subtle sophistication or find it fleeting and overpriced.

Our Verdict - New York

A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Le Labo Santal 33 (2011) - violet, sandalwood and leather translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Season and Occasion Fit

Desert Dawn

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its subtle sillage and soft, clean woody profile make it ideal for office and casual wear, where it's unlikely to offend. However, its weak projection and short longevity, as noted by many, mean it might be lost in formal settings or during high-activity sports.
