Byredo Bal d'Afrique 23

What wearers say

“This is definitely sister to the OG, maybe fraternal twins. I literally can't tell a difference unless I smell them side by side.That being said, I'll buy this over the OG forever. For the money, it's too good. I do have other Byredo's directly from the brand that I will forever repurchase the OG of, this dupe is just special enough I don't feel the need to invest. I love the first couple hours, but the dry down is DELICIOUS on my skin and will last for ages. I can smell it wafting through the air literally 24 hours after I last sprayed. It stays on clothes for daaaaays.”

“I absolutely love this smell .I enjoy the smokiness ;performance is average even when I overspray. But it smells beautiful!! I purchased 5 Oakcha and of all I reach for this the most . But longevity is poor . I will get the strong version of the OG when this is finished .”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“This is so lovely! I have no idea what the OG is actually like but this smells like a beautiful creamy, citrusy, flowery, vanilla mix that is both uplifting and very magnetic! One of my top blind buys.Opens up like an adult orange creamcicle with some florals and maintains a creamy and slightly lemony texture for a good 3-5 hours in dry down.Pairs amazing with Arabians Tonka.”
