Real talk
Bal d'Afrique is one of Byredo's more accessible fragrances for everyday wear. It does not demand attention but rewards those who notice it. If you prefer scents that announce themselves from across.Bal d'Afrique (Eau de Parfum)
Cuentos de la Selva takes the bergamot and lets the melissa run wild, herbal, almost medicinal in the best way. It's a scent that rewards attention rather than making an immediate impression.Cuentos de la Selva
