Byredo Mixed Emotions is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Mixed Emotions opens with Mate and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf and Tea, and dries down to a base of Papyrus and Birch. Byredo's Mixed Emotions carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent, true to its name. You'll either love its weird, smoky blackcurrant tea vibe or recoil from its 'cat pee' and 'BBQ sauce' undertones. Definitely not a blind buy, but if it clicks for you, it's a unique and captivating masterpiece.

Its strong, unique character and moderate sillage make it less ideal for office settings where subtlety is preferred. However, its bold and mysterious allure is well-suited for dates and edgy casual outings, particularly in colder weather as noted by reviewers. The smoky and woody accords might be too informal for many formal events.

About

Opens with a potent, almost bewildering blast of rich blackcurrant and herbaceous mate, swiftly followed by an aromatic wave of smoky tea and green violet leaf. The dry down settles into a surprisingly deep and dry woody blend of papyrus and birch, carrying subtle hints of leather and a persistent, intriguing smokiness. It's a complex journey from fruit to forest fire, with a few unexpected detours.
