Some fragrances become icons. Bal d’Afrique is one of them. Since its launch, Byredo’s vibrant blend of citrus, florals and woods has earned cult status among fragrance lovers. Now, the brand unveils Bal d’Afrique Absolu. A richer, more seductive interpretation that takes the original into deeper, more addictive territory.
Where the original was all about radiant lightness, Absolu embraces contrast. Sparkling bergamot, lemon and blackcurrant open the fragrance before giving way to a heart built around an irresistible praline accord. Sweet musks and violet soften the composition, while cedarwood, vetiver and warm black amber create a sensual, long-lasting finish.
Bal d’Afrique Absolu isn’t simply a stronger version of the original. It’s its bolder, sexier alter ego. (100 ml | € 295)
