What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and Elevator Music?
This fragrance does not announce itself. Bergamot and vetiver give it structure, but the florals keep it from feeling austere. It works best when you want to smell present without screaming.Bal d'Afrique
Byredo made a fragrance named after the most forgettable sound in existence and somehow made it the point. The synthetic-green bamboo opening is the whole concept, familiar, institutional.Elevator Music
