Byredo is one of the most popular niche perfume brands. You will often see their perfumes and candles in influencers’ posts, including mine. Korean celebrities like Park Seo Joon and BTS Jhope are said to like Blanche, Cha Eunwoo of Astro sprayed some Mojave Ghost on himself in one of his vlogs, while Jessica Jung showed Pulp and Bal D’Afrique in her perfume collection vlog. Even local Filipino celebrities like Marian Rivera posted on Instagram that Mojave Ghost is her fave. But where to buy Byredo in the Philippines?
I’m telling you now, it is very hard to buy a whole bottle of Byredo perfume in the Philippines even their candles. I actually bought a majority of my collection from their flagship store in Ngee Ann City Mall in Singapore. But fret not, if you have patience, it is possible to buy them too locally. And yes, they’re legit.
1. BeautyMNL – One of the most trusted online beauty stores in the Philippines, BeautyMNL also sells niche perfume brands like Le Labo, Replica by Maison Margiela, and of course, Byredo. Besides their popular Eau De Parfum, they also sell Byredo hair mist, roll-on perfumed oil, and candles. Lots of pleasant trifles will wait for you at checkout. The more you spend, the more gifts you get. I can also guarantee you that they’re legit. I bought my second bottle of Blanche from them. The only downside is they sold out fast. And they don’t announce when are they going to restock. And when they restock, people buy it fast. So make sure to add the product to your waitlist and grab it once they notify you that it is available.
2. Hello Beauty Indulgence – Formerly known as Beauty Indulgence PH, this Instagram reseller is my go-to shop for travel-size perfumes. I don’t like blind buying so I try travel sizes first before splurging. But they also sell a full bottle, not often but when they do post it, make sure to grab it fast. It sold out fast from them as well, especially Blanche.
3. Les Senteurs PH – Another Instagram reseller but this one only sells niche perfume brands including Byredo. I haven’t bought anything from them yet, but they were recommended by a friend and I really like their posts. I discover new perfume brands from their very aesthetic and well-written posts.
4. Hot Finds Manila – I know this reseller since around 2015-16 when I saw them in a beauty bazaar at MOA Convention Center. I used to buy my Real Technique brushes from them and recently I just learned they perfumes too like Le Labo, Byredo, Ariana Granda, Penhaligon, and more.
5. Cult Beauty – This is where I bought my first Byredo, the La Selection Nomade Discovery Set. This UK-based beauty store has a lot of Byredo products, they even have body lotion, shampoo, hand wash, makeup, and more. Cult Beauty ships to the Philippines but not all the brands on their site are allowed to ship here which unfortunately includes Byredo. So I used ShippingCart, a forwarding company (and sister company of LBC and GoGo Express) to ship it here. But make sure to contact ShippingCart’s customer service first before ordering to double-check.
TIP:
If you want to try Byredo but don’t want to blind buy, you can actually test them by buying decanted perfumes. Here is the list of legit sellers I recommend. By buying decanted perfumes, you’ll know if the perfume matches your body chemistry, does it last long on you, and of course, if you like its scent without splurging.
