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 favorite. But where to buy Byredo in the Philippines?
Unlike Le Labo which recently opened a store in the Philippines, Byredo is not yet available here. I bought the 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 locally. And yes, they’re legit.
Trusted local resellers where to buy Byredo
1. Les Senteurs PH – This Instagram reseller only sells niche perfume brands including Byredo. They were recommended by a friend and I bought my Santa Maria Novella perfume from them. I also like their posts. I discover new perfume brands from their very aesthetic and well-written posts.
2. Official Vial – This is one of my go-to perfume sellers for decants. If there’s a new perfume I want to try but don’t want to commit to a full bottle yet, I check this seller first. But sometimes they sell full bottles too. They have Byredo, Le Labo, E’tat Libre di Orange, Parfums de Marly, Diptyque, Glossier, and more. Also, their packaging is aesthetic.
3. HOUSE OF WHIFFS – I discovered this shop from The Beauty Edit’s article. This perfume shop is owned by TV and Events Host, Princess Legaspi, who has an impressive collection of 400 perfumes. They have a vast array of brands from designer, niche, and even Middle Eastern perfume brands! And if you do not want to commit to a full bottle yet, they also sell decants.
4. 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.
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 before ordering to double-check.
TIP:
If you want to try Byredo but don’t want to blind buy, you can 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 lasts long on you, and of course, if you like its scent without splurging.
