Bal d'Afrique Absolu

Byredo Bal d'Afrique Absolu begins with blackcurrant and bergamot, and does not apologise for either.

How it moves

It arrives on blackcurrant, bergamot and lemon — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. Praline, musk and violet are where it actually lives. It dries down to black amber, cedarwood and vetiver, close to the skin and hard to forget.
