Description
Byredo is launching three fragrances of the modern new collection of eaux de cologne named after popular editions of the house: Gypsy Water, Sunday Cologne and Mister Marvelous, available as eau de cologne and certainly in flacons larger than the usual EDT and EDP editions. The new Cologne collection is an extension of the existing line towards a contemporary presentation of eau de cologne, created of top quality raw materials, as charismatic, exciting and elegant.
All three fragrances which are now available in the eau de cologne collection retain their original olfactive identity by obtaining a fresher and dashier character. The new eaux de cologne Byredo will be available on the market starting from May 2014.
GYPSY WATER EAU DE COLOGNE includes bergamot, lemon, berries, juniper berries in the top; incense, pine, orris root in the heart and sandalwood, amber, vanilla in the base.

The EDP is really not a strong performer so I can’t see why I would have a version that is even weaker

I’ve tried the EDC version but not the EDP version, so this is in reference to the former incarnation of Byredo Gypsy Water, as it’s one of a handful of offerings by the house to be offered in 50/100ml EDP bottles and 250ml EDC bottles.
To highlight the obvious, the EDC is obviously not much of a performer, but that’s to be expected. I’ve not tried the EDP but I imagine it’s a bit stronger, and better be, given the much higher cost per volume.
That said, Gypsy Water is a pleasant aquatic, a mix of citrus (lemon/bergamot), pine, and sandalwood, primarily, to my nose, though a handful of other notes are listed. I don’t get any vanilla, for example. Still, it’s a good blend, and I’d be curious to try the EDP to see if performance is better.
While the scent is nice, I certainly wouldn’t opt to buy this, at $240 for a 250ml bottle. Far too expensive for the weak spray that it is.

Pleasant, but insipid and no real longevity.
