Byredo's Bal d'Afrique perfume is a captivating olfactory journey. It was among the creator's earliest scents, born from an obsession with translating memories into fragrance and incorporating an imaginary element. Inspired by the creator's father's 10 - 15 years in Africa, reading his diaries became a portal to an African fantasy. This perfume reflects that journey and celebrates African culture. The top notes feature African Marigold, Bergamot, and Buchu, offering a fresh and invigorating start. The heart notes of Cyclamen and Violet add a delicate and floral touch. The base notes of Moroccan Cedarwood and Vetiver provide a warm and long - lasting finish. Ingredients include alcohol, parfum, aqua, and other common fragrance components.
To use Bal D'Afrique perfume, simply spray it on your pulse points like your wrists, neck, and behind your ears. This helps the scent to last longer as these areas generate heat. When applying, hold the bottle about 3 - 4 inches away from your skin for an even distribution. As for storage, keep the perfume in a cool, dark place. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or in a very hot environment as this can change the scent and quality. Remember, a little goes a long way with this perfume, so start with a small amount and adjust according to your preference. Also, if you have sensitive skin, it's a good idea to do a patch test first to make sure you don't have any allergic reactions.
