Bal d Afrique

“Something in the opening reminds me of household cleaner. It mellows down immediately , but for a second it smells like harsh cleaners.I like this a lot, but given the price and longevity it’s not something I would say is a must have. I was so curious to know what this dna smelled like,given the hype, and was underwhelmed. It’s very nice and I can even say I love it but not enough to buy a full flanker but would not be mad if I got it as a gift.”

“It smells fresh and clean, exactly how you would want to smell like on a hot summer day. The opening is sparkling in a very pleasing way and it dries down to a pretty aromatic. It stays open and cool, but a tad generic for its price in my opinion.There's a lovely, gentle floral sweetness that gets balanced by a bit of fresh spice, making it a true unisex, maybe slightly masculine-leaning on me. Sadly, just 3 hours and it becomes a skin scent.Don't get me wrong, it's good! I had higher expectations though.”

“My friend swears by this as her daily scent. I was ignoring her suggestion. I finally tried first with the hand cream, which is too light and unassuming. Then I just blind bought and got the 50ml bottle. I don't love it but I like it enough to make it my daily, unassuming smell. Like, "I don't want to attract attention but I want to smell like something."It might just be me but I smell like creamy mango. What Blanche is to many, Bal d'Afrique is to me. It is the only perfume I spray generously without fear of getting dizzy.”
