The Byredo perfume house is known for its time travel. Intense aromas take us back to certain periods of human history. If we talk about Byredo Bal D'Afrique eau de parfum, then its composition evokes thoughts of French luxury of the early 20th century.
Imagine closed backstage cafes where groups of people gather dressed in fine silk and velvet. They are in no hurry, enjoy jazz and sip a glass of expensive drink. Everything around shines and smells. It smells of amazing bouquets of delicate floral aromas, thanks to sophisticated perfumes, both on women and men.
Among these floral melodies one can recognize some African and Oriental etudes. Delicate violets and cyclamens are combined with a note of Egyptian vetiver. Airy jasmine dances with Hungarian cedar.
