  • About The Fragrance

    Bal d'Afrique Absolu reimagines the iconic scent with a more gourmand intensity, heightening the contrast between vibrant lightness and addictive depth, paying tribute to founder Ben Gorham's personal memories and the vibrant artistic influence of African culture. This reinterpretation elevates the gourmand notes of Bal d'Afrique to an addictive level, all surrounding a heart of sweet praline. Notes of bergamot, lemon and blackcurrant offer a bold vibrance before melting into praline, sweet musks and violet. A woody blend of cedar and vetiver add depth and drama to the base, with warm black amber extending the gourmand push of the praline right to the very end.

  • About The Bottle

    The Absolu de Parfum is held in a redesigned bottle, an homage to craftsmanship. Embodying the deep intensity and transformation, the textured cap, inspired by Yakisugi, the Japanese art of charring wood, opens to reveal the atomizer spray, complementing the bottle's elemental design and the clean curves of the glass that shows the intense color of the fragrance within.

DIVINE smell

I got Bal d'Afrique hand cream as a gift for my bday and LOVED the smell so had to get myself the perfume. It's hard to describe but smells sophisticated and elegant, and also lasts a long time so I only spray it once, max twice a day if I am going out in the evening. I always compliments and people asking what the fragrance is, so happy I got it.

love byredo!!

A beautiful blend of citrus, florals, and woods that feels both bright and warm. It works well as a signature scent. My only complaint is the staying power, as it fades faster than other fragrances at this price point, requiring a reapplication during the day.

Elegant Comfort: A Cozy Silk Cocoon

Bal d'Afrique Absolu de Parfum is an elegant and complex fragrance that feels like being wrapped in a soft silk cocoon. I’m thrilled the Absolu version is now available, offering over 24 hours of gentle, comforting scent without being overpowering. It’s perfect for evenings out or moments when I want to feel snug and serene. I often alternate it with Mojave Ghost, which gives me a fresh, energising boost during the day. Together, they perfectly match different moods and occasions.

Not a fan

I find this an expensive perfume— in the genre of Chanel, not Creed. So I was excited. However the sent did not last (as many reviews stated). But then, at put hotel in Miami, they had this as their signature scent.maybe being a snob, but that kinda ruined it for me at this price point. I had a great shower though…

All time favourite

BAL D'AFRIQUE is hands down my favourite scent from Byredo. And I am really glad it now has a edp version available. The scent from this is richer and lasts on the skin longer which means I can wear it all year round. The packing is simple yet beautiful, absolutely love it!

Addicting

Smells very sweet. Lingers all day to next. I layered it with any other perfume I have to cut the sweetness and it gave a nice dry down.
