You know how there are some cans of worms you know you shouldn't open but you do anyway? The specific can I'm talking about today is Byredo fragrances. Anyone who follows beauty accounts on YouTube or Instagram is probably familiar with Byredo's beautiful minimalistic packaging and unique sounding scent names. My journey started innocently enough- I was actually looking for a scent for my husband. He loves woody smells and mentioned that he would like a cedar cologne. I immediately thought of Super Cedar by Byredo. The only problem was, I couldn't find any stores in the Portland area that carried that specific scent. I emailed Byredo to see if they could send samples, and it was a no go without purchase. I am waaaaay to scared to buy perfume or cologne without smelling it first, so that wasn't realistic for me. Next I turned to Nordstrom since they carry Byredo online, but not in any stores near me. They suggested I call the Seattle store since that was the only store that had a Byredo counter. I gave them a call, and an amazing sales associate (thanks Mario!) sent over a sample of Super Cedar, as well as some other scents he thought I might like.
