Why Byredo's Mixed Emotions Perfume Is Worth It Basically, therapy in a bottle. Design by Morgan McMullen Welcome back to Worth It, a bi-weekly breakdown of the new beauty products I’ve tested and adored: I’m talking that drain-it-to-the-bottom-and-tell-my-friends-I’ve-found-The-One kind of love. If it's featured here, consider this my permission to splurge on it. Read on for the product you don’t want to live without, and catch up on the latest Worth It breakdown here Mixed Emotions The Promise The newest fragrance to join Byredo's olfactory collection is made up of a mix of conflicting scent moods. There's warmth, a touch of sweetness, and some hints of dark wood. Ben Gorham, the genius mind behind Byredo's creations, wanted this fragrance to encapsulate the times we're in, with all the highs and lows it brings. With notes of bright bergamot, soothing papyrus, violet leaves, and earthy maté, to name a few, this perfume is the perfect metaphor for our times, combining comfort, a little malaise, and whiff of spice.
