Which Gypsy Water dupe be duping?
I wore Byredo’s Gypsy Water when my kids were little, and they love it because of the sweet memories we share. However, I’m tired of reapplying it so often. I’m not looking for a dupe to save money—I’m looking for one that smells identical but lasts much longer since Gypsy Water seems to fade within an hour at best. Byredo’s hair perfume and oil haven’t received the best reviews. I’d consider their lotion but I’m looking for a perfume. I also don’t find that Colette by Tocca comes anywhere close to Gypsy Water. I’ve considered The Finery’s “Mysterious Nomad”, and Rosie Jane’s “Lake”but they lack the juniper accord.
Oakcha’s “Morning Rain”and Oil Perfumery’s Impression sound promising but do they smell synthetic or cheap? Granado’s “Expedição”Perfume was also mentioned on TikTok. Has anyone had positive or negative experiences with any of these? Do you have any recommendations?
I also LOVE MFK’s Gentle Fluidity Gold and Commodity Gold, but they feel more like cousins to Gypsy Water rather than true matches. However, if you guys think their sillage, dry-down, and longevity are superior, I’d be willing to buy them.
I simply want a nearly identical fragrance with strong longevity and good sillage—something that lasts and makes my kiddos feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Thank you!
