[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!
This is such a unique and beautiful scent. I’m not sure how they managed to make this smell like warmth from the sun. The marigold note to me is so interesting. I think this is one of the safer byredo blind buys. Def try it out.
I bought this in Calgary before sephora carried it, and I have gotten compliments from my family, friends and coworkers. I only spray this on my clothing and never on the skin as I have heard that it doesn't last long on the skin. on clothes however, it lasts around 6-8 hours. whenever my friends hugged me they would say that I smelled good whenever I wear this. My coworker would say that it smells like a good laundry detergent. I would say that this fragrance is good for fall and spring.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This Byredo Bal d’Afrique eau de parfum smells bright and clean. There’s also a soft creamy sweetness underneath. It’s not gourmand-sweet, more like an airy glow on skin that feels fresh and warm at the same time. This is definitely on my top 5 favorite scents and super easy to wear. I absolutely love this scent and I will definitely get the full size bottle.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] A beautiful citrus scent. The applicator worked well and provided a gentle mist. Just a warning, it comes out of the bottle smelling of chemicals, but as soon as it hits your skin it develops into a great smell with depth.
Such an incredible scent! It’s warm, fresh, and super elegant. Even though it’s light, it’s really long-lasting and stays on my skin all day. Absolutely love it!
