Citrus and blackcurrant on top, praline, musk and violet in the heart and a deep base of cedar, vetiver and black amber. An Absolu de Parfum from 2025, created by Jérôme Epinette, the perfumer behind almost every Byredo scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fragrance is sunny and addictive at the same time. It opens fresh and sparkling, then praline and violet make it soft and creamy, and it ends with a warm, slightly smoky woody trail. A unisex scent for people who like Bal d'Afrique but want more density, more sweetness and more longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is an original decant of the perfume in a practical travel atomizer. Perfect for testing and for wearing anywhere.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe story behind the scent\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBal d'Afrique was created by Byredo founder Ben Gorham from the memories of his father, who travelled and lived in Africa. The fragrance is an imaginary journey and a tribute to the influence of African culture on the dance, art and music of 1920s Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 Absolu version intensifies the gourmand side of the original and sharpens the contrast between sparkling lightness and dark, sweet depth. The bottle is new too: the textured black cap is inspired by yakisugi, the Japanese art of charring wood, and the juice inside has a deeper colour that hints at the higher concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFragrance profile\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlackcurrant\u003cbr\u003eBergamot\u003cbr\u003eLemon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraline\u003cbr\u003eMusk\u003cbr\u003eViolet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlack amber\u003cbr\u003eCedarwood\u003cbr\u003eVetiver\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeel and longevity\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening is citrusy and fruity with blackcurrant and bergamot. After about half an hour the praline and musk come forward and the scent turns soft, sweet and powdery, with violet adding a light floral touch. The base is warm and woody with cedar, vetiver and amber, and it stays on the skin until the end of the day. As an Absolu de Parfum the longevity is very good and the projection is noticeable in the first hours, so 2 to 3 sprays are enough. Best worn in spring, summer and autumn, day and evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy choose a decant?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a decant you can wear Bal d'Afrique Absolu for a few days and find out whether it suits you before buying a full bottle that costs over 200 euro. And if you already love it, the travel atomizer is perfect for your bag, your car or travelling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Byredo","offers":[{"title":"5 мл","offer_id":65103548875129,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 мл","offer_id":65103551332729,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1032\/0874\/7385\/files\/image_a7da3e14-9ba6-450b-8f82-94ca9a60bed4.jpg?v=1793798726","url":"https:\/\/swiftscent.com\/en\/products\/byredo-bal-dafrique-absolu","provider":"SwiftScent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
