Rodeo

My first full bottle purchase of a Byredo scent and I'm not disappointed. Tried this on in the store in NYC when I was traveling. It constantly smells like a warm, worn, smoky leather jacket that clings nicely to my skin without being too overpowering. The violet comes and goes softly, giving an alluring, fresh take on what could be too harsh a scent for some. As it dies down, it warms up a bit more - the sales rep likened it to the violet and leather fusing together in a way, and I can definitely see that. I wish the violet was a TOUCH stronger, as violet is really one of the reasons I love this scent (as well as Mojave Ghost and a few others of the Byredo vein), but I absolutely adore this scent. It's sophisticated, sexy, and refined without being too hyper-masculine.

Dirty, Dry Leather. Dusty Violets. Resinous Amber. Combining these was a beautiful idea and I am in love with this fragrance. Byredo has completely won me over in recent years and Rodeo is the ultimate blind buy for me. Not available in typical stores - and to my knowledge only on Byredo's website - I decided to go at it blind. I am so glad I did. I get whiffs of Hay and Leather - sweet and aromatic violets mixed in with suede and dried down with Amber. Gorgeous scent.

Smells like a posh Country Club in the Big Bend area framed with majestic mountains, clean equestrian stables near by and a golf hole on the other side of the Rio Grande in Mexico. Reminds me of a melange between Byredo Unnamed and Black Saffron, I love both. Unnamed is crisp, clean and sporty whilst Black Saffron smells like opulent rich leather.

A very unique fragrance that not everybody will like but when it's suits you you'll be opssessed, it dont smell leather when i wear it, i smell powder, fresh plant scent. For me I don't like a lot of byredo fragrances but this one I find interesting. It's unfortunate it's discontinued.

Smelled this in Selfridges - glorious. Violet leather and suede. Really reminds me of Suede Pony, which I had and loved, but got a bit tired of in the end. I’d consider buying a bottle of this...when I’m not at perfume capacity.
