Gypsy Water Byredo for women and men

It is a very nice, and memorable scent. I thougt is was masculine at first, but not so much, rather I remember a very old memory, when I sniffed some very similar fragrance, and maybe, who were it was a boy :)
I like it.

i ordered just a 1oz vial of gypsy water from the perfumed court recently. i thought i was going to absolutely love it, but when i finally received it and tried it on, i was less than thrilled. i thought maybe it just needed to dry, but as it dried it got worse and worse. i know some women who love this scent, but on me it smelled like dirty lemon water. i can't even explain it. i'm really sad because i wanted to love it. but in the trash it went. my husband was gagging from the scent. boo.

I bought this scent when it came out a few years ago and the top notes are what made me buy it, but when it dried down, I felt it was ok. To me, it is more of a masculine scent. I gave it to my Mom to wear as I quickly fell out of favor with it.

I give her credit as again, I felt it was too masculine for me, but it was a little be better on her.

It has the character of old manuscripts and ancient lemon groves. Lovely.
Absolutely my new favorite.

Really nice frag

Gypsy Water is very similar to D&G Anthology L`Amoureaux 6.
The juniper, the spices, the citruses, the woods!
It's just a bit more soapy.
I prefer D&G.
Both are excellent unisex, cozy woody aromatics.

Gypsy Water has a beautiful lemon note in the top. Later incense, pine and juniper are most dominant on me with some amber and vanilla. It's smoky, comforting and a little playful.
Sadly it doesn't last unless sprayed liberally. Then it stays with me for about 5 hours. I don't really smell anything afterwards except for a few smoky whiffs several hours later. I'm not willing to pay the full price even though it's stunning.

This is my very favourite perfume at the moment. I've wanted to buy it for a year but still haven't. I think the reason may be that if I ever feel a bit down, I just go to the perfume shop and try it on, sniff it, and instantly feel better.
Another reason is that it's quite expensive, and I'm afraid it doesn't last long enough on the skin to justify the price tag.
But I love, love, love the soft mix of powder, incense and vanilla. Big love.
Gypsy Water is an unusual perfume, nothing like those from the big designer brands. Speaking of which, I think that the reason Byredo is my favourite perfume-brand at the moment is just that, their perfumes are quite different and often surprising. Not always nice on my skin, but never boring.

Gypsy Water is surely not what I was expecting by reading the notes before I received my sample. Initially the lemon and bergamot are very clear and in the forefront. But then the dry-down becomes a soft, powdery & possibly unisex scent, but more delicate than I would expect a male to prefer wearing. On me the sweet amber, vanilla and hint of lemon stand out the most.

I really adore the way Byredo has put together this scent. So pure and simple, it's really very easy to appreciate each and every note,lovely.

Well, first minute or two 'Gypsy Water' smells more promising then afterwards. I was surprised to see the notes, because I would expect different smell according to them. Actually, for me it's sweet watery floral scent with some lemony notes. It lacks the depth, and makes me think more of the water with washing powder and some cheep floral perfume. Strange impression and very 'watery' altogether
