I like the opening and the bamboo/petitgrain combo. It lasts ten minutes.
The rest of this fragrance is to me almost non-existing.
So, It all amounts to a very fast like and an impossible love.
Short longevity and no sillage make this Byredo not worth its price. I am not surprised about this, anyway.

A fresh, crisp and sharp synthetic note hits my nose after the initial spray. After I start recovering, I get neroli and lavender over a cedar base. Although it seemed very potent at first, after one hour it’s faint on the skin and in 2 hours I can barely detect it and not long after is gone for good.
Scent: 6/10
Longevity: 4/10
Projection: 3/10

This is a manly and “serious” type of scent for warm weather. The boss’s kind of scent lol!
At the opening I get a very strong citrusy vibe along with cedarwood and a little camphor. As time passes the petitgrain and the mild camphor calm down and the woods become dominant.. at this stage it feels gorgeous! Perfection in a bottle with a manly vibe. The neroli & the bamboo support the woods so they are not very vivid.
The only minus is its moderate performance. I’ll try it again to confirm its longevity which is very important for me.
Update
Moderate longevity confirmed. I love this simple scent but it lives somewhere between 4 – 4.5 hours..

I typically can find good things to say about any fragrance.
Well, you got me on this one.
To be clear, my opinion is that mister marvelous is just downright awful.
It’s a piercing – screeching child, screaming, crying and kicking while you’re trying to enjoy a Friday night dinner with your significant other. It’s a guy sitting at a red-light with his top down on his ‘96 Mazda Miata – hair slicked back – aviator sunglasses with reflective gold lenses – listening to nickleback.
The fact that this made it through the checks and balances system over at byredo – and was ok’d into production, is astonishing.
My dislike for this scent is up there with amouage myths man.
I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
I feel better now. Sincere apologies to those who like this scent – remember, this is only my opinion.

I blind bought this because I found a STUPID deal on a 100ml bottle.
My immediate reaction is that it smells very piney, but it wasn’t exactly pine. . ..i checked the notes and it’s eucalyptus, THAT’S what i get largely on that first spray. Still smells piney to me with a citrus boost. In fact i immediately dubbed this as a “cabin cologne”. Something I’d wear when visiting my in-Laws at their cabin.
I agree with previous sentiments that it’s way overpriced, but if you find one that’s about half price or less, go for it. Byredo bottles have a classy look that, even if you don’t wear them, they look marvelous on your shelf.
This is an aged cologne i would say, more suitable to a man over 40, or for any guy too mature for his age. I’d give this a 7 out of 10, i wouldn’t wear this very often but it’s Fall and rainy, and I’m enjoying it right now.

At first this blasts out with a putrid & very blunt medicinal note…….sorta. It calms down and petitgrain comes through but the bamboo (& possibly amber are fighting it.)
This is a very confused concoction and my first sampling of a Byredo cologne – so yeah- off to a bad start.
There is no reason for this to be so expensive either.
DO NOT BLIND BUY THIS ONE!

Apre maschio,come una caramella spicchio di limone Sperlari.
Poi pero’ vira con secchio e straccio.mi ricorda ajax per pavimenti al bergamotto e mughetto.Il tutto e’ mescolato con un ottimo legno di cedro.
Un po’ da presbiterio…impronta riconoscibile in molti byredo.
Migliora dopo un ora..non rigetta sulla mia pelle ma non piace al mio naso e alle mie tasche.
Durata massima : 2 hours
Passo.

I hate to be a wet blanket, but this is some ridiculously overpriced *****. It is supposed to be a woody, aromatic, spicy etc. scent, but all I get is a watered-down orange (a.k.a. neroli and petitgrain). Why would anyone want to pay almost 200 EUR to smell like Orangina is entirely beyond me.
ikaapra – :
I hate to be negative, but to me this smells like the swab they use before they take your blood sample. Not a smell I’m into at all.
FAN_JACK – :
All I get is petitgrain. A lovely, natural-smelling petitgrain, of course (exactly like crushing the leaves in our hand), but that’s it. Nothing gender specific about it, obviously, because all it is is petitgrain.
It’s the smell of a cologne one buys while on vacation on some little Italian or French town’s supermarket, only with poorer lasting power. Lovely but, at this price?! No. This is exactly the type of thing that gives Byredo –an otherwise fantastic house– a bad name.
SQUIMISMAKS – :
I wanted to love this fragrance.. but unfortunately its a miss for me. That bamboo note and lavender heart notes are too cloying.. Kinda smell like cumin, at least on my nose.

I love Byredo but me and my boyfriend both tried this at a counter and immediately thought: pif paf! (the bug spray) Definite no for Mister Marvelous. The only saving grace was the name of the fragrance – but I really would not want to smell this on any mister!
Maximulago – :
Few perfumes hit you this hard with petitgrain in the opening, fizzy and citrus like but lacking in any sort of yesty refreshment. As Mister Marvelous settles down a bit it does get slightly pissy I’m afraid, but hey I can deal with that as I sort of find it interesting when it’s not too dominant. I think the neroli coming through gives it a saving lift but the base is a peppery cedar which again doesn’t help with the overall vibe of this perfume. Not something I’d wear I’m afraid, Byredo aren’t doing particularly well in my favour being a house I hadn’t tried until now. I don’t hate it but put it this way, we can’t talk longevity I’m afraid, because it got scrubbed.

Fresh, crisp and comforting. It reminds me of my dad and all those times we went to the woods. It’s like a day in the pine forest. It’s slightly cold already, you are wearing a woollen pullover and lighting a camp fire with pine cones. Needles to say, I like this perfume a lot. It works fine on me, even though it’s kind of masculine. Maybe it’s the memory it evokes that makes me like it.
I get a strong coriander note in Mister Marvelous, even thought it’s not listed.
wunderbar – :
CdG Blue Cedrat with its shoes polished, its shirt pressed and a hipster pop-up shop fennel seed lozenge in its pocket, holding a G&T made with Cornish Gin and thoroughly convinced that it looks like Cary Grant. He’s not so far wrong, but the real problem is that he thinks *you’re* going to pay for dinner.

This smells like Coach for Men.

I agree with petar.cignovic. What is going on with this is fragrance? I love all the ingredients listed above so bought a sample expecting it to become a favourite. And yet when I spray my sample and sniff I feel like I’ve been hit in the face with a bunch of hundred year old dried flowers covered in cement dust, I feel literally chocked by this dry dusty disgusting smell. Then suddenly it vanishes leaving a delicious neroli petitgran Gorgeous lavender and America smell that makes me melt. I sigh, maybe I can handle that horrible opening for the delectable scent that follows its almost worth it, I start to think. But then the dusty dead flowers and cement dust come back in even greater force so I give up. Its such a shame, such a waste of a perfume bursting with potential. I have identified the dusty scent as immortelle, but I don’t understand how it got in there in such quantities as it is not listed as a note in the perfume.
Such a shame, it makes me sad to have to give up on that ray of sunshine cutting through the dust but I couldn’t survive another encounter with this scent. I’m so disappointed I feel like telling byredo how much that immortelle has ruined this frag or even asking them if someone’s hand accidentally slipped adding to much immortelle, or if they got there bottles mixed up and meant to add cedar or something. Oh well I’ll have to get over it!

This works on both men and women. But it has no lasting power and a typical hand alohol scent that smells like a hospital… I would much rather go for dior homme cologne that is similar but much better!
shkavrov – :
it smells good but not marvelous….n this is unisex totally not mr…….seriously applied 5 sprays to my hoody n 2 hours later its almost gone:-(…..paid alot for this too n its just not worth da price tag….a great special smell tho n it is very very similiar to assolo so try that before buyin this 6/10

116)J’aime beaucoup la créativité de cette marque mais si ils font payer le même prix pour chaque parfum c’est qu’ils sont censé tous être aussi bon.
Celui-ci ne vaut pas la peine, un genre déjà vu et fait ailleurs, déjà bien mieux réussi dans la grande distribution pour la moitié du prix. Faible tenue.

I bought this recently, and having plonked down an extravagant amount of money on a 100ml bottle I am bitterly disappointed. The fragrance itself is lovely, but has absolutley no staying power! (I normally get what would be considered fairly standard longevity with most fragrances.) Between 1 and 2 hours in and Mister Marvelous is barely perceptible, even on fabric. I not only feel ripped off, I feel like an idiot for rushing my decision in the store and not letting it sit on my skin for longer.
algisg77 – :
it’s a poor, poor fragrance with an expensive, exagerate price…Pay attention: don’t lose your money!!!
basurman1975 – :
I absolutely hate the initial blast of this fragrance, too much immortel notes combined with beautiful woods and citrus, but they even do not get to you because of that overdose of immortel. A bit choking effect it has on me.
But the drydown is clean and fresh. Beautiful.
My rating: 5/10
yra09 – :
loved it. I think it’s unisex
spid105 – :
Woody-citrus. We’ve seen this iteration too many times. It opens with tart-crispy green citruses and turns to a strong cedarwood base joined by sweet amber. Not completely bad but smells exactly like a crude version of Cale’s Assolo (and of a bunch of other fragrances of the past 20 years). Offensively overpriced.
Rating:6/10
resident09 – :
I tried it today. Nice, opening like Palermo but the orange, citrus, mandarin used are sweeter. I feel a bunch of pine wood, or cedar, fresh and summery. Elegant and for every occasion.
wtcmvifrzz – :
MM has absolutly no staying power at all. I sprayed and sprayed and sprayed. Nothing. Nada. A waste of money from such a great house!!
urchel – :
Sounds interesting and has just been released!!! Let’ see the first comments from those that will try this. From the ingredients, it seems to be a very nice and delicious but I’m not sure if this is masculine or lean towards femine.
Will see!!!
UPDATE: this is a deeply masculine perfume, the petit grain dominates the game and is very natural. after about half an hour, the petit grain calms down and you get some of the woods and other ingredients. I would say that is a nice perfume, masculine, can be worn all year round and separated itself from all other citrus colognes. This is not a citrus, this is a petit grain leaf smell! Well done! Longevity/sillage are excelent!
