Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Sherwood is less 'forest fantasy' and more 'creamy sandalwood enigma'. Some reckon it's a smooth, comforting dream, others find it a nauseating, persistent nightmare. Definitely one to sample, as it clearly hits different for everyone.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and creamy, soft character make it suitable for close-proximity situations like dates and casual wear. While some find it office-appropriate, others report strong longevity and a 'creamy thick' quality that could be too much in a formal or very professional setting.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
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.
