Got a sample of this & I really like it. Its a very nice light fresh scent, not overwhelming. Unisex for sure but imo leans towards feminine side. Starts clean then turns kinda powdery & after that hint of citrus. would purchase bigger bottle but already have an extensive collection of perfume. wish it lasted longer, took a star for that.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Byredo’s Bal d’Afrique has a beautifully balanced scent, combining a subtle sweetness with fresh floral and fruity notes. It’s a versatile fragrance that I feel is suitable for any occasion, thanks to its pleasant and uplifting character. I received so many compliments whenever I wear this fragrance, which makes it an even more special addition to my collection. Thank you, Byredo, for creating such a beautiful scent and adding another favorite to my collection.
I get the hype! This scent smells DIVINE. It is fresh, airy, floral with a little woody in depth. Everything harmonizes perfectly. Fresh, bright airy citrus as the opening, then powdery floral kicking in and finally settling down with warm skin-like woody as the finish touch. The more I wear it, the more I’m in love with this scent. It lasts almost 9 hours on my skin and almost going to the next day on my clothes. Insane longevity I must say. If Blanche introduces me to Byredo House, Bal d’Afrique has my heart. Packaging is 10 out 10 as always from Byredo. I definitely highly recommend it if you love woody-floral scent with a airy citrus opening!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I am pleasantly surprised by this scent! I am usually a vanilla girlie but this smells really good. It’s light and citrusy but has a sweet under note to it that makes it settle really nicely on my skin. I’d definitely wear this in the summer.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Great size sample and long lasting scent! It isn’t my favorite scent profile as it’s a bit more sandalwood-like and musky but if you prefer that over something more floral, you’ll love this! Thank you for allowing me to test this product in exchange for my honest review.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This Bal d’Afrique EDP is one of those fragrances that feels effortlessly beautiful. It opens with a bright, fresh citrusy touch then softer,warmer and creamier on my skin. I get a beautiful mix of bergamot, neroli, soft florals,Cedarwood, vetiver and musk. The dry down is especially gorgeous - warm, smooth, slightly powdery and woody without ever feeling heavy. The Strength is moderate It has enough projection to be noticed. After a while, it stills on the skin and creates this really soft, beautiful scent. On my skin, it feels clean, warm, creamy and sunny. It has that affordless " you just natural smell amazing" quality. This scent is perfect for spring and summer but I will wear it all year around because I love it.It feels perfect for daytime, brunch, vacation, a casual date or simply when you want to smell elegant without trying to hard. Overall, it is elegant, warm, fresh, creamy and effortlessly luxurious.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is my all time FAVORITE fragrance, so even though I’m grateful to get the VOC, I can give my honest experience from a consistent buyer. BYREDO is not always my go to, and more times than not, I find they miss on their fragrance notes and diversifying from the top and base notes. Bal d’Afeique is a UNICORN. It’s floral, it’s woods, it’s masculine, it’s feminine- it’s everything I want in a fragrance and it fits that desire for every mood I’m in. I would highly recommend anyone to try this at first as a VOC, but if you’re going to blind buy any fragrance this year, this is the ONE!!
This is one of the best fragrances out there. I love it!! Nothing smells quite like it, very elevated scent. Only downside is the high price tag
Bal d’Afrique is a beautiful scent, although I’d call it more floral than woody & earthy, as Sephora classifies it. I have Bal d’Afrique and Mojave Ghost and I LOVE them both! Perfect for daily wear. I love many Byredo scents and am so happy that Sephora will carry it now!
ive never written a review before for sephora but I LOVE this perfume. and honestly anything byredo has ever done. I have this one, gypsy water, and la tulipe. my only issue is they dont last long enough but they are fabulous. i didnt even realize that sephora was carrying byredo but as a loyal sephora customer im so excited. i didnt buy my byredo perfumes from sephora, just a really big fan telling you that these fragrances are really good!
