Mixed Emotions by Byredo is aptly named
I have been testing out Mixed Emotions from Byredo, and for me this perfume has me feeling its name. I cannot tell you what led me to go ahead and just buy this after a little sniff on a card. That is so unlike me. What happened to me that day? The brand describes…
