Byredo Slow Dance Eau de Parfum Spray 100 ml
Plus- en minpunten
door onze specialisten
Byredo Slow Dance is a unisex eau de parfum that captures a sophisticated blend of sweet, woody, and sensual notes. The fragrance opens with opoponax and cognac, transitioning to geranium, labdanum, and violet in the heart, before settling into a warm base of vanilla, patchouli, and incense. Users consistently report excellent longevity and projection, with the scent remaining noticeable for over six hours. The leather and woody base provides depth and prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying. However, some reviewers note the opening can smell chemical or like oily leather, and the overall composition bears similarities to other niche fragrances. The scent leans sophisticated and adult rather than youthful, making it better suited for evening wear and cooler seasons than everyday use.

Today it's time for Slow Dance by Byredo to be closely examined by me. I ordered the Discovery Set from Byredo, six fragrances that you can assemble yourself. With that name, I expect a close, warm, and seductive scent. One that you would want to get really close to. Upon spraying, there's an immediate slight shock: my first association is the opening of a jar of sweet-sour pickles. The acidity hits my nose directly, and that feeling doesn't leave me for quite a while. Not a scent I would want to wear, or one I would wear to a slow dance. After about an hour, the fragrance shifts towards vanilla, a slight spiciness joins in, and the acidity gradually fades. Unfortunately, for me, the scent is beyond saving. If the first impression would fade as quickly as the openings of Blanche or Alto Astral by Byredo, this fragrance could be quite interesting for me in the base note. But even this final overall impression unfortunately doesn't last long, so the longevity is only mediocre overall.

Frankly I was very pleasantly surprised by this perfume. The inital tone was warm and slightly sweet. As it dried down, that pleasant odor I didn't recognize (opopanax?). This scent seemed to hold the rest of the scents as it developed; it became lightly floral, spring-time notes. A delight. What stunned me when I read the fragrance notes was that patchouli and vanilla were the end notes. I usually avoid anything "patchouli" and with few exceptions, avoid vanilla in scent mixtures. This was blended with skill and it's a scent I'll keep to wear for close and intimate situations. It did fade fairly quickly through early scents and even vanilla had faded out (on me) in 6 hours or so.

I am a very very picky woman, I will say I tend to lean into sweeter/sexy fragrances than cleaner and floral. This fragrance gets me compliments all day. Do you remember growing up and your mom having this distinct scent? I think this will be mine. I do still love Bal dâ Afrique, La tulipe and of course unnamed but Slow dance makes me feel like a woman :)

I was so excited about this latest perfume from Byredo and was thrilled to get a sample of it. Unfortunately, while it is a very lovely perfume, I found that it just didn't work for me. Definitely one to try before you buy -- it seems like you either will love it or hate it!
