What Reddit owners say
5/5 LongevityFresh & clean“* **Gypsy Water** – One of the most refreshing scents I own for hot weather.”
5/5“Diptyque Orpheon edp is my favorite, on me it leans feminine but it's a unisex scent. Byredo Gypsy water has some juniper but I mostly get a lemony vanilla cake. MFK gentle fluidity gold is a juniper vanilla”
5/5“I'm so glad your boy is better! I've got Alt Bohemian Water and it really does scratch my Gypsy Water itch. Is it perfect? No. Is it close enough to GW that I can wear it and enjoy it? Yes.”
5/5 Everyday“Gypsy water by byredo! I'm turning 31 this year and have been wearing it as my signature scent since I was 16. It's amazing. That and Before the rain by finery!”
3/5“I have Gypsy water and Mojave ghost too but as much as I thought I loved then I sampled them, I have to be in a certain mood to wear them. I also have Blanche…still meh.”

Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I got Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, Burberry Goddess, Byredo Gypsy Water & MFK Baccarat Rouge. So soo excited!!”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Yeah Gypsy water I get 2-3 hours max, I use it for layering with other citrus fragrances”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I have the same problem with Byredo's Gypsy Water. It doesn't do well on skin at all.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“So I buy Inspired bys from Parvin Perfumes and every one I've bought has been spot on or better so far. He has Gypsy water. He is a one man show so does occasionally shut down his website for ordering, like right now he's on vacation till after the holidays.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I just smelled some of Penhaligon's Portrait line today and those are some herbal-y herbals! The George one really stood out. I sprayed Juniper Sling on (I loooove the juniper in both Gypsy Water and Chanel Edinburgh but they are fleeting) and it's still here a few hours later (4ish?) delightfully zesty.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Perhaps it depends on your skin chemistry. Because I have Gypsy Water EDP and it absolutely performs. I do only two sprays on the sides of the base of my neck, under my shirt. My coworkers can still smell me even in the afternoon... and give compliments lol”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“10 years ago I used to wear Gypsy Water and Bal d'Afrique for years.”
