Anyone who’s navigated the vibrant hustle and bustle of Mumbai streets with be transported back in seconds with this scent. The haze of incense and sandalwood is broken by notes of sweet tonka bean, bitter coffee and davana. It’s warm, it’s spicy, it’s a moment and a memory in a fragrance.

Mixed Emotions conjures up mixed emotions for people. Some love the fruity, earthy, woody mash up, others are put off entirely. It’s easily one of the most complex and impressive scents we’ve come across and no one should write it off from the description alone. Head to your local Space NK store and try it out.

Byredo
Young Rose Eau de Parfum, £150.00
If You Like Classic Scents With A Twist…
If you love those classic and ever so slightly powdery rose fragrances, Byredo's Young Rose could be worth exploring. With a sprinkling of Sichuan pepper, the floral and musky notes are given a fresh modern twist that will have people asking what fragrance you're wearing.
Byredo
Black Saffron Eau de Parfum, £150.00
If You Like Warm, Exotic Scents…
As the name suggests, Black Saffron is a rich, punchy scent that's packed full of notes, including leather accord, black violet, rose, raspberry and vetiver. It's warm, it's welcoming and it's bold.
Byredo
Lil Fleur Eau De Parfum, N/A
If You Like Uplifting Rose Scents…
The latest offering from the brand has a nostalgic feel to it. Centred around damascus rose, it is peppered with notes that played starring roles in some of our favourite teenage scents, including uplifting tangerine and cassis, as well as vanilla. With hints of saffron and leather notes, it is a far cry from classic jammy, rose scents. If you want to take a walk down memory lane, this is definitely the most tasteful, sophisticated route to take.
Byredo
Rose of No Man's Land Eau de Parfum, £150.00
If You Want A Bit Of Spice With Your Florals…
Inspired by the nurses of World War 1, there is a softness to this fragrance with the comforting rose and amber notes, but the soldiers injuries are highlighted with a subtle heat that runs through the scent. While rose is the defining note, there is a hint of spice from peppercorn to give this scent a bit of kick.
Byredo
Gypsy Water Eau de Parfum, £150.00
If You Like Light, Fresh Scents…
This is Byredo’s signature scent and it has a loyal celebrity following (both Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Sienna Miller have revealed they wear it). Immediately after spritzing you’re hit with light, zesty notes of lemon and bergamot before the scent dries down and the woody pine notes come through. The result is a clean, fresh and incredibly wearable scent.
Byredo
Sundazed Eau de Parfum, £150.00
If You Like Juicy, Citrus Scents…
Unofficially called ‘summer in a bottle’, this perfume was made for those who love the refreshing, zingy scent of lemons and mandarins intertwined with sun-drenched jasmine. While the addition of cotton candy gives this citrus scent a dose of sweetness, it is by no means cloying thanks to the addition of neroli which helps to rebalance the freshness.
Byredo
Unnamed Eau de Parfum, £200.00
If You Like Powdery, Parma Violet-Esque Scents…
Another incredibly popular scent (and not just because you can name it yourself), this powdery blend of iris and violets is reminiscent of the childhood sweets. Yet, the clever burst of gin notes and lingering woody notes prevent this fragrance from feeling old fashioned or heavy. This is the kind of perfume that will have people asking what you’re wearing.
Byredo
Mojave Ghost Eau de Parfum, £150.00
If You Like Warm, Creamy Scents…
Spritzing Mojave Ghost often feels like giving yourself a warm, hug while wearing a cashmere jumper. The blend of ambrette, magnolia and sandalwood has a warm richness without feeling overbearing or heavy. It's a luxurious scent that will give you all the vibes.
Byredo
Bal D' Afrique Eau de Parfum, £150.00
If You Like Classic Scents…
Byredo Bal D'Afrique is the fragrance for you. Inspired by the love of African culture and dance in Paris in the late 1920s, this scent combines Moroccan cedarwood, musk and black amber with just the slightest hint of lemon and bergamot.
