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…

That one time I went to the Byredo store
While in Atlanta, I was walking through Phipps Plaza and decided to wander into the Byredo store. I was greeted when I walked in. There was another woman in there who was picking up an order. She raved about the candles. I for my part wanted to just smell everything. At the counter, the associate…
