    This is a perfume that is safe without being boring. It’s clean, creamy, and just so well blended. When I finished my bottle I tried a few dupes and they just don’t capture the magic. I find BDA to...

    Bal d'Afrique is probably the best scent I have had the pleasure to smell over the past five years. It is a huge compliment-getter and has just enough sillage to make it worth the money you will...

    Absolutely stunning, subtle but sophisticated perfume with a very low key violet note. I often get asked what I'm wearing when I have this on. It is unusual and not overly sweet like a lot of...

    I recently purchased about 12 different samples from Luckyscent and Bal d'Afrique was one of them. Why-oh-freaking-WHY do I purchase perfume samples knowing I don't need another bottle of...

    Just love this fragrance. I find the marigold note in it to be so compelling, the scent itself is simple yet complex if that makes any sense at all. Comforting and alluring. I find it unique and...

    Man, does this smell good. It opens with a fresh, creamy lemony note with nary an ounce of Lysol to it. That opening lasts for only about a half hour, then it mellows to a sweet, complicated skin...

    I have a sample of this that I just got and I can't stop sniffing my wrist. I really can't describe how good this smells. It's sort of a creamy lemon, but not at all tart and not at all cleaning...

    My beloved perfume of all times, hands down. Smells like nothing else I came across on the market and I am a sucker for expensive, unique perfumes. After almost 6 months of using pretty much...

    Ah, the crazy situation where a perfume smells divine in the store and yet changes completely once you have a bottle back home, able to spray yourself with abandon. Such goes the case of Byredo's...

    Bal d'Afrique is a very nice vetyver-heavy blend, of the sort used in Sel de Vetyver by TDC, or Vetyver Tonka by Hermessences. It's got that lemony, almost (and this is going to sound bad but hold...

    Very beautiful, well blended, refined fragrance that contains many notes that I dislike, in particular, cedar. Yet put them all together and this beauty sings. Goes on with sweet lemon custardy...

    i want to love this so badly, as it's like an upscale fruit cocktail. Smells strongly of pina coladas to me, lush and tropical. However, as much as i love sweet fruitiness and i do love the...

    There's a sweetness to it that I really don't like.

    I love this. My husband has gone crazy over this. I know the reason for both: It smells very much like Bond No 9 So New York, which smells very much like Escada Magnetism. Throw Flowerbomb in...

    Suprisingly tame fragrance on my skin. Woods, musk, amber & vetiver like previous reviewers mentioned but softened throughout. There's a creamy sweetness to it that reminds me of custard pudding....

    What I like about Byredo is they make wearable every day fragrances that don't scream "Perfume". Although I wouldn't call any of them "interesting" or "unique", they are luxurious and elegant...

    BAL D'AFRIQUE smells like Fresh's MANGOSTEEN. Exactly like Fresh's Mangosteen. I don't know who's copying who... really! Actually bal d'afrique is a warm, romantic, soft vetiver inspired by Paris...
